Thanks for the info Ron, Mine had the open face and it was a challange to replace it as I had to delaminate the case to remove it. The only wippins I found to be close enough to the origional action to work were Steinway. Then I had to modify them to use the connecting links to the keys. If she decides to have it rebuilt it will be a good piano. Any way, thanks again and good luck!
