Wurlitzer Grand Action Bracket Issue

[Jim Johnson]

Wurlitzer Grand Action Bracket IssueI had an action with expanded brackets and called Schaff and they asked for the bracket numbers and sent me replacements.  of course, this has been many years ago.  strange problem alright!

  No doubt at all this is a YC expanding bracket. I'll second what Jon said - chisel and hammer - just bust that sucker up. The other option is to remove/loosen the keybed, but you should be able to break the bracket.

  Another option would be to simply leave it in there for a few more years - chances are it will disintegrate on its own!

    Sounds like expanded brackets. Good luck getting replacements and figuring if you
    need the large or small ones. You might gain some clearance by raising the glide bolts
    thereby lowering the balance rail. If that doesn't work, cut the brackets. Or test with a
    cold chisel to see if they will shatter.
