  There's no chance that you'll get replacement brackets in time for the =
party (unless the party is in late 2006)!  You'll just have to do a =
quick regulation of the letoff adjusting them on the "safe" side for the =
party.  Try to get the brackets and then set up an appointment when they =
come in.

  =20

  Weber is no longer in the piano business and YC is in some kind of =
limbo, so be sure to have a good understanding of who is paying for the =
installation and regulation when you finally do get brackets. =20

  Was a ten-year-old Weber grand made by Young Chang?

  When was the YC growing action bracket widely known? Was it general =
knowledge within PTG circles as far back as 1997?

  Got a call from a lady who has a 10-15-yo Weber grand. She will be =
having a party in 2-1/2 weeks and will be hiring a professional pianist =
to play. The piano has not been touched in many years. We made an =
appointment for two days before the party - although she expressed =
concern about being sure the piano was playable - what if it needs =
repairs - I told her not too many 10-yo pianos will need major repairs.

  =20

  About five seconds after hanging up, I remembered this was likely a YC =
and potentially from the growing action bracket years. I called her back =
and asked her to play all the notes for me. Sounded like at least a few =
of them were blocking (or at least something very bad). She told me =
another tech had "completely redone" the action 8 years ago (such major =
repairs that he had to "send it out"), but the tech had since passed =
away. I just happened to have the records for that tech, and sure enough =
back in '97 he has notes about an "action repair" and "action =
regulation" for this piano - but no details regarding exactly what the =
repairs were.

  =20

  So being that we might be looking at a bracket replacement job, we =
moved the appointment up to this Thursday to hopefully allow for needed =
repairs. If anyone can provide me a heads-up on my couple questions, I =
sure would appreciate it.

  =20

  BTW, the only reason I am reasonably well informed about the YC action =
bracket situation is this Pianotech List. Thanks all.
