Friends, I have been servicing a BB that was one of the last from Aeolian (1980-1985)- the hammer felt is peeling from some of the moldings and the tuning pins are loose. The tone is not good although needling down the hammers has helped some. I am prepared to replace the hammers and pinblock but have never seen one of these rebuilt and am wondering about the real potential. I haven't yet seen one of these that was a terrific piano. Anybody turned one of these into a really nice piano? What are the chances of replacing the stack with a current production one and getting rid of those awful Aeolian wippins? Thanks.
