Terry, I've re-what-evered several. There are several "versions" of this beast. Some are better than others. The original one had brass flanges and all of the wippens/hammer shanks were at the same angle as the strings. A true nightmare! My solution was a new action with buckets of modifications to get the darned thing to function properly. (At the time, the new action was called a "Clemson Action", which came from the olde Pratt-Read Company, later know as Pratt-Win, a subsidary of Baldwin. I don't think this action is available anymore. Besides, my preference would be a Renner. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon)
