Hello, especially to our friends across the pond. I have a customer who has recently acquired a 4' 4" Dagmar grand piano (made in the UK), and wants me to fix up (or totally rebuild) the moderately sluggish action. Serial numbers seem to have been scratched or otherwise obscured. What is the correct tuning tip for this piano? -- my Watanabe #1 tip flops around the tuning pin tip uncontrollably. Are action parts (hammer butt, wippen) for this available through UK supply shops? How good (or dreadful) do these seem to be, in your experience? I'm guessing it is at least 80 years old, in the same league as early Haines micro grands, or the later Kimball Petite. Any commentary welcome!
