[pianotech] Plate crack repair

[Gordon]

Please let us know how this works out for you.  

I thought the Lock-N-Stitch looked like a great product, but could not get the company to return any of my phone calls, so I have never used it.  Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Regards,

Gordon Large, RPT

Subject: [pianotech] Plate crack repair


I have 2 candidates for repair of cracked plates: a square with a crack in the tuning pin area and a small grand with a crack in a treble strut. Neither are valuable to anyone but the owners and both are owned by schools.
 
I don't wish to send them off for welding so have been looking at the Lock-n-Stitch products with the intent of doing the repairs in my own shop. I've watched their YouTube videos of the process and I see no reason why I can't do the same myself.
 
Any caveats or constructive opinions?
