It's obviously gray market. = Pierce lists this number as circa 1934. They didn't finish pianos in = poly in '34 did they? Anyway, it's been restrung (original block, # 3 = pins (uneven torque throughout), keytops, bushings, hammers, shanks and = flanges. Here's the problem(the big one). The flanges are obviously not = correct for the rail. The thickness of the flange causes the screws to = wedge themselves against the block (and I mean WEDGE!). I had to brace = my legs against the lyre, grab the brackets and heave! Doesn't do alot = of shifting either! What's the fix? Plane the bottom of the block? Belt = sander? Thin the flanges (is that possible?)? These folks are upset. = They thought they were getting a Yamaha grand which I guess they did but = it's not quite up to the modern quality standards. Any help is = apprectiated. Phil Romano romanop@attglobal.net =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
