I'm new to this forum, but I ran into a problem yesterday on a
Kimball grand with Schwander action. Thirteen keys aren't working.
Turns out the little cloth loops on the back of the jacks that the
jack return springs hook into are torn. Schaff doesn't have these
jacks anymore. They say Kimball went out of business about 15 years
ago. Do any of you guys out there have any of these jacks. Remember,
they're for a grand. If I can't find any, do you think I could
replace these string loops with something--I don't know what. Maybe
strong fishing line. Anybody ever do anything like this. I'd hate to
see the piano junked, although I'm no particular fan of Kimballs. Any
comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
