Hello Geoff,
Brand name, brand name and exact size.
Potential is important here and also if the
plate can be removed without losing the
wires. Some can.

Greetings All --
I recently serviced an old, (1909), b grand piano that had been sort of
rebuilt 20 or 30 years ago. New strings, pinblock, pins, that kind of thing. I
had to pound the pins in a bit to get them to hold so now the piano is in tune
and sounds pretty decent. However, the soundboard is FULL of cracks, and it
buzzes like CRAZY. Fortunately the owner keeps the lid completely closed,
including over the music desk, and covered with pictures and knick-knacks so
these buzzes are, for the most part, not a day to day problem. My fantasy is that
there is some kind of filler material, like a glue or a putty, that I can
fill these cracks with from the underside, so my first question here is to that
end. This is a beautiful natural wood piano but the customer is aware that
the cost of possibly restringing, again, in order to repair the soundboard is
not a cost effective option. Especially since it does not get played that
much. The customer is also entertaining the idea of selling it just to get
something smaller. What are my options here?
-- Geoff
