Hi Everyone, I went to one of the schools where I tune to investigate a probel the were having with a key that wouldn't play on a bechstein grand, an older one. I coudn't ge into the piano to read the serial number or model. I kid you not that music teacher had that thing so weighed won with ..ap lol. The problem was, the cord loop that connects the jack spring is bad frayed. I wanted to know if I had any other option besides replacing that cord loop due to the visual nature of it. I think I can swing it with my bifocal or this other magnifier device I hve. However not to take the easy way out by any means, but I wanted to know if there is a source where I could obtain a Bechstein wippen assembly. I have instruction on how to redo the look being sent via e-mail from someone I know from the school, but I was curious as to any other options I might have. I wonder what those couple of highschool kids thouht when I said out loud, "Oh I see the cord loop is bad not the jack position under the knuckle." Thanks everyone Marshall ps. If I didn't thank you already for ideas and help fro past posts, thanks again. You guys are great, and even to the person that flamed me in a private e-mail a couple of weeks ago I'm still greatful to them. :-) Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05 at hotmail.com 215-510-9400 Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org Vancouver, WA _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141665/direct/01/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
