Dear Friends, A customer has a 5 year old Baldwin console with a crack about 12 inches long in the treble bridge, big enough to stick a business card in. The piano sounds like hitting a marimba with a timpani stick. The owner wants to replace it. I'm new at this and don't do shopwork- and I understand that none of you can diagnose a pian on line- but do you think I could somehow get some CA between the strings, into the crack, and drill a hole through the bridge/soundboard and put in a nut and bolt? I thought, if it's going to be replaced, I might as well learn something. (It was seen by a friend of mine who does extensive rebuilding and proclaimed the PSO to be DOA) Any suggestions are sincerely appreciated. Thanks, Greg Livingston _______________________________________ Gregory P.
