I phoned Y.C.A. last  week, and received a reply phone call from someone  
there.


    I have a customer in a neighboring town with a  Young Chang grand that 
had what I perceived to be the expanding bracket problem.  Since it was the 
first time I had seen it I wasn't sure, but I explained the  concept to him and 
when I finally got the action out of the piano (no simple  task), discovered 
that a couple of the brackets had cracks along the screw  holes. I showed them to 
him but told him I had heard there were difficulties  getting the parts. He 
had me show him what information he needed to order the  parts, model number, 
serial, part name and said he would have the parts in a few  days. I had a 
private "yeah, right" moment and told him to call me when he got  them.
    He called me in less than a week and said he had  the parts. I am going 
to put it together next week. He told me that he is Korean  so he made whatever 
calls to Korea he needed to and got the parts overnighted  (which turned out 
to be 3 days). If you like, I will ask him how he did it and  find out whether 
it is a fluke, a cool strategy, or if he knows somebody on the  inside (or 
maybe the dark side). Actually, I had better wait and find out  whether he got 
the right parts... could be important.
