Dear list, I've got an old Bechstein grand (1885) that I'm preparing an estimate on. The piano has had some very sloppy work done in the past and the action is bad shape. I will put new shanks on it but the whippens(original) need either replacement or thorough reconditioning. My question, to those who have dealt with these older german pianos, is if this type of whippen is available. Perhaps those who have rebuilt bechsteins of this vintage can tell me what you did.
