Keybed Inserts

[Farrell]

Funny you should bring this up. After weeks of working on the soundboard,
bridges, pinblock and such, I just pulled the action off the shelf today to
give it a look-see! Pretty weird little felty things at the end of the
shanks. I fixed a couple broken little jack springs, and repaired a couple
things on the action frame. Going to refurbish the ivory keys - except for a
few that are all chewed up, they are in very good condition - it appears the
piano received little play. Those are sure the longest keys I have ever
seen!

I was going to give Ronson a call next week and ask them how they handle
hammer orders. My understanding is that they are the only company that does
square grand hammers. I have not dealt with them before. So, I'll just give
'em a call and get the scoop. Thanks for your interest. Have you rebuilt
many squares?
