The other reasons, contamination by oil, water, unkown substances would all render the wood surrounding it suspect.</div> <div> </div> <div>I believe in all of those cases the prudent thing would be replacement, I'm assuming a grand piano here, the hourly cost for you to rebush and repin all of the existing flanges could exceed the cost of new flanges and perhaps shanks if they were affected.</div> <div> </div> <div>I am about to embark on a job like this but it is an 85 note upright, built in 1875 with a straight strung bass. We restrung it, replaced keytops, rebushed the keys, replaced the hammers and backchecks. New flanges are not available, the hammer butts will have to be resized smaller, using techniques I have been reading about on the list.</div> <div> </div> <div>Mike <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work.
