[pianotech] bridle wires

[David Nereson]

    Why do I see all your replies in my e-mail, but not my own 
post?

     It may have been I who posted a while back about turning 
the action upside down and using a little blob of Duco cement on 
the underside of the tab, so it can't slip down.  I've seen too 
many attempts to glue the tabs on top, and it seldom works for 
long.
    It's 'wippen,', not "whippen."  See the Feb. 1994 Journal, 
page 13.
    As it turns out, I have to unscrew most of the wippens 
anyhow, because so many jacks need repinning.  Trouble with 
gluing the bridle straps to the wires is that when you have to 
do a job like this, you destroy the tabs pulling them off.
