Re: Herrburger Brooks spring & loop action<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Hello Jon.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Herrburger Brooks built several types of </DIV>
<DIV>actions. Does yours have a repetition lever?</DIV>
<DIV>If so please describe the repetition spring.</DIV>
<DIV>What brand of Piano is it in? </DIV>
<DIV>The devil is always in the details.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> In the late 20s an early 30s there were =
</DIV>
<DIV>several grand actions built without repetition</DIV>
<DIV>levers. One made a pitiful attempt with a single</DIV>
<DIV>loop spring. But it never worked.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> This action model and others will be displayed =
</DIV>
<DIV>in the new Foundation Museum for the =
2005</DIV>
<DIV>Convention in K.C. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
