After having it tuned I started = hearing an annoying vibrating sound out of the F Key above middle C. My = tuner came back out to investigate and found some hairline cracks in the = upper part of the treble bridge. He called a few people whom he trusts = for bridge rebuilding. His plan was to remove the half of the treble = bridge with the cracks and send it off to be used as a model to rebuild = a new one and put the new one in for me. But everyone was booked well = into next year. =20 So he found out about a gentleman who does Epoxy repair. He himself has = never done this type of repair with epoxy but after speaking with this = man and watching his video he feels confident that he can repair the = hairline cracks with epoxy. I am wanting to know the pros and cons to = doing such a repair. Can you also tell me the pros and cons to removing = the half of the treble bridge with the hairline cracks and sending it = away to be used as a model to build a new half and putting in a new half = bridge in instead.=20 I have recently put $523 worth of repairs into this piano. I am = wondering if I should even do the treble bridge repair and if so which = way to go. The tone in this piano sounds really great to me and my = daughter. I hear so many bad things about newer pianos not holding up = well. So could any of you advise me on this matter. I am concerned = about the epoxy method causing any problems with the tone and sound. = Plus will the pins be glued in? Would that cause problems later on? Thanks. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
