A local used piano dealer just got in this Kranich and Bach circa 1885. Even with dead strings it has a very nice tone, plus a gorgeous cabinet with ornate legs. It's about a six footer. The biggest problem is the action needs a lot of help. As you can see from the picture the capstans nearly miss the whippen heel. I've never done an action geometry redesign but this may be a good candidate for me to learn on. If I am going to relocate the capstans might as well try to make as much right as I can. I'm thinking it might be better to try to use a more modern whippen. Any comments or help appreciated as always.
