[pianotech] Slow drop fallboard hinge for YC

[Al Guecia/AlliedPianoCraft]

David, this was a new install. It was for a dealer, where the sale "hinged" on the installation of the decelerator. When the dealer heard the price of the job, there was no question, it wasn't going to happen.

  Al -
  Just to clarify - are you trying to retrofit one of these into a piano that never had one, or replace a broken one?  I was curious why they wouldn't supply one to replace a malfunctioning one, so I spoke with John Chang also.  It sounds like they have never had a report of a bad one, and don't see any benefit to facilitating the opportunity to otherwise screw-up one of their pianos, which sounds like what Don Mannino at Kawai was proposing as well.  If you are doing a new install, Jurgen's sounds like your best bet.

    I called YC and the person I spoke to (I think it was John Chang) said they don't have them in stock, nor do they sell them. Any ideas on how I can get a  slow drop fallboard hinge for a Young Chang G-150 would be greatly appreciated.

      I need a slow drop fallboard hinge for a Young Chang. Is this something you can only get directly from them?



      If so, does anyone have the number for their parts dept?



      Thanks,
