Jack Flanges

[Barbara Richmond]

It's times like these that it's helpful to have a bit of an inventory of different sized parts.  I can't remember what piano you said this was from, but it looks like a compact action.  I haven't shopped for parts like this for a long time, but usually they are offered in a variety of sizes or by piano brand (Baldwin, etc.).  I don't have my Schaff catalog handy to look...   Try looking in the Pianotek catalog.  I think the parts in there are actual-size pictures.

I attached the pics of the two broken flanges.

I ordered some standard jack flanges from Schaff and they came today.  They do not appear to be the right size.  I put it next to the original flange, and you can see quite a difference. 

Help please. 

These "broken keys" are in the center of the keyboard on my clients piano, so I will be stopping by next week and swapping the whippens from B87 and C88, so at least the piano will be playable until I get this issue resolved. 

Thanks again for your help
