Knuckle type

[Alan]

I always heard them called "Brambach" style knuckles. They usually get
pooh-pooed in polite company and they do show up on a lot of "lesser
name" pianos (e.g., Francis Bacon) but also in some pretty nice brands
(e.g., Geo. Bent). In mine 'umble opinion, I think they regulate and
work just fine.

Where do you guys/gals get this stuff?!!!!! A "pear" knuckle?!!!! I
don't think so!<G> The name that was given to me, years ago, was Kimball
Knuckle, as this was first used by Kimball. I can document that with a
verrrrry olde Service Manual that shows the correct jack alignment for
these little beasties. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain,
