A piano teacher has a 1974 B in need of serious rebuilding or = replacement. =20 The action will need redesigning (there is nothing left of the old M = & H action design) , it needs a new pinblock and probably wapin bridge = pinning. =20 The front bearing is ridiculously steep. Hell to tune and ugly, = too. I'm wondering if I can grind away some of the plate or bearing bars = to reduce it. The agraffes stop at G#3. I don't think this was the original B = plate design, was it? Despite what amounts to a rape of a once wonderful design, there is = still something magic in the sound of this instrument. If I do every good thing we can do for a piano, will it be a stable, = dependable instrument, or will the problems start just to the other side = of where I stop? I'd appreciate any words of wisdom and experience. Ed Sutton ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
