<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hello Terry,
<BR>
<BR> I repair many older pianos and if I have a choice
<BR> I always go with what is closer to the orgional.
<BR>
<BR> The springs you speak of ( the orgional) almost
<BR> never give problems, while the ones made on the butt
<BR> does. I have also found the encore parts from Wally
<BR> Brooks is one of the best if not the best available.
<BR>
<BR> Regards,
