I recently took on a job for a small church with a Hazelton Brothers =
6' grand
that the pedal lyre just fell off, because the lyre sticks came out at =
one
unknown time a long time ago and they kept using the piano, pedals and =
all.
This caused the pedal lyre to "swing in the breeze" with use and as a
consequence, the whole pedal lyre fell off because the screws were =
worked
loose from use.
=
<BR><BR>  =
;
Removing the remaining 2, (of 4) 5/16" diameter x 2 3/4" long =
screws
resulted in a search for replacements only to find they are no longer =
made.
Does anyone know where I can obtain such obsolete fastners? Someone at =
a
hardware store mentioned a place named Constantine's in New York. Has =
anyone
heard of this place? The national 1-800 directory assistance has no =
phone
number on them and typing in <A =
href="www.constantine">www.constantine</A>
results in web page under construction message, so I cannot even be =
sure if
this is the right constantine company. <BR><BR>thanks, <BR>Julia
