<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am rebuilding a chickering =
upright. This
one has the brass flanges. They all work good. My question is should =
the brass
flanges be changed to wood? If so why? Is the reason for =
changing the
flanges because they break or is there something more?</FONT></DIV>
