Subject: [pianotech] Young Chang

A few years ago, I did my one and only Young Chang action bracket replacement job, then blogged about it. Since that time, I've gotten at least a dozen inquiries from piano owners and fellow technicians.?

A few weeks ago I got such an inquiry from a tech. As usual, I sent him the usual phone number. He emailed back that the number didn't work. I tried it myself. Didn't work. Now, the crazy thing is that in the two weeks or so since, I've gotten three or four additional inquires. I was on the phone to a tech on the east coast this afternoon when I got a call from an owner in Hawaii. I've never experienced a deluge anything like this on this subject. It's nuts. The tech out east said he'd called a YC dealer who was of no help (supplied him the fax number that's on the website.) I just called a local dealer and he gave me a couple numbers that are now connected to non-piano businesses. ?


I've heard several rumors in conjunction with this over the years... I've had owners tell me their tech told them that YC is closed (long before this), that they aren't supplying brackets any more, that they charge for the brackets. None of that was true the last I checked, earlier this year.


It's almost as if these brackets were on a timer to go nuts in July of 2012 and YC knew it, so they closed their doors. (I am NOT saying this is what happened... it just seems that way!)


If anyone has ANY information about what's going on with YC, PLEASE let us all know. Or even if someone is supplying replacement brackets. If a supply house, or mfr would pick up the slack, I'm sure there are plenty of owners who'd be grateful just to get their pianos fixed, even at a cost.


Thanks,
