Chickering Grand

[Farrell]

I service an old Chickering quarter grand with brass flanges.

Just curious, how does one do a soundboard evaluation from long distance? Or are you assuming (and logically I might add) that the original board is shot?

  The Quarter grands I've seen have three or so sections of pinblock machine screwed
  to the underside of the plate.  I have not seen any brass flanges on a grand like there
  are on some old Chickering uprights.

    Dear fellow tech's,
       I am biding a rebuilding job on a 1906 Chickering quarter grand from
    out of state. My question is to all, does this model have the brass
    whippen flanges and the brass hammer shank flanges?  Also, does this 
    model have a sectioned pinblock?  Since I can't look at the piano, I
    thought maybe someone might have some info on this model. If there is
    anything else that might be unusual about this model, please speak up. I 
    have worked on these before, but it's been a long time. Thanks!

    Hank
