Upon first inspection, I found that there was one backcheck missing. I located it in the bottom of the piano (along with things better left unspoken here) and it appears to me that the backcheck is the screw in type. However, there is only a fraction of one thread left on the wire, which means to me that the wire has somehow snapped off the wippen and the rest is still imbedded therein. So... any great suggestions on how I might best extract that little portion of backcheck wire from the wippen before installing a new one?</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=630424223-15052002></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=630424223-15052002><FONT face='"MS Sans Serif"'>Thanks</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=630424223-15052002></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=630424223-15052002><FONT face='"MS Sans Serif"'>Greg Casper</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=630424223-15052002>San Jose, CA</SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
