<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi David,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The November issue of the Piano Technicians
Journal will have an article featuring a way to repair this, but I'll
bet you don't want to wait a couple weeks for it to be delivered.
Are the rest of the mortises fairly shabby, too?</FONT></DIV>
