<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>One of the Steinway D's in the concert hall here at Alabama has a worn out
<BR>wippen rail dowel. None of the screws will tighten snug, and several are
<BR>completely loose. The completely loose ones I have fixed, but I am wondering
<BR>what to do with the rest of them holes.
<BR>
<BR>I have never replaced a dowel, and am looking for advice on doing so. Any
<BR>help will be appreciated.
<BR>
<BR>The other thought I had on the matter was to drill out each screw hole and
<BR>plug it with hammer shank material. Anyone tried that?
<BR>
<BR>Thanks in advance for the help.
