List,

Inspected a George Steck baby grand the other day, and I need to write a proposal to make it play like a normal piano.  Needs the usual stuff: shaping, bolstering, regulating, clean and lube, plug lots of stripped screws, etc.  In addition, the felt covering of a dozen or so sostenuto tabs has come loose and is hanging down off the tab.  Anyone seen this before?  Can I just re-glue the felt onto the tab, or should I plan to replace parts (might be interesting trying to find sostenuto parts for a 1930 Steck).  Also, very short engagement of underlevers on key ends, and therefore some severe wear of key-end felt.  Can't move the action in, can I shim the back action out?  Advice from anyone who's been there before would be welcome.

thanks

Mike
