<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a customer with a 1947 Story and =
Clark
console piano with most of the hammer butt springs broken, It has =
the
extra old felt strip under the spring coils, and that is where the =
corrosion
originates. I read about this in an old journal article, along =
with the
advice, to try to replace the rail, rather than diggout 88 spring holes, =
etc. Does anyone know if it is still possible to get a spring rail =
duplicated at a reasonable cost? Any advice? =
Piano is is
pristine shape other than this. It does have almost all action =
parts in
yellowing plastic, but they dont seem to be crumbly like others I =
have
seen. Maybe there were some good plastic batched back =
then?</FONT></DIV>
