I am consulting on the rebuilding of a twenty year old Steinway concert 
grand.  It has a crack in the plate that goes all the way around the strut next to 
the lowest A string, about an inch behind (away from the player) the dampers.  
The strut has not moved either side to side or up and down....yet.  

Two questions: 1) What are viable repair for this, and; 2) can anyone 
recommend someone capable of doing them in Southern California?

Alan,
 
Check out _http://www.locknstitch.com/_ (http://www.locknstitch.com/)   up in 
Turlock. They will do on-site work, or you can send them the plate. They 
could answer questions about the strength and appropriateness of their technique.
