Jack Flanges

[Tom Driscoll]

Matthew,
Maybe it's been brought to your attention already --- How are the notes going to  sound without damper spoons ?
87 and 88 whips have none. If you have some flanges that are too big,why not cut-shape  them to size with a fret saw and rasp in the shop? You only need two right?
Find a way my young Brother--find a way.

        I attached the pics of the two broken flanges.

        I ordered some standard jack flanges from Schaff and they came today.  They do not appear to be the right size.  I put it next to the original flange, and you can see quite a difference.

        Help please.

        These "broken keys" are in the center of the keyboard on my clients piano, so I will be stopping by next week and swapping the whippens from B87 and C88, so at least the piano will be playable until I get this issue resolved.

        Thanks again for your help
