Nick:
 
I was impressed with M&H's response to my request for trapwork and  
fittings for a AA recently. You might check to see if there is anything  they can 
do. BB's aren't in production yet are they?

Hello  List,

Long story, but I am rebuilding an old Boston Mason & Hamlin  (#35000) BB. 
Some parts never arrived with the piano.

See photos.  

Pedals are missing along with mounting blocks. One block (#4) is in  the 
pedal box and can be used as a guide to make others. Also, no lyre support  
rods.

Cheek block hardware is missing: brass action guides along with  the 
upright brass pieces that hold the fallboard. 

Also could use a new  sostenuto rod and linkages. We do have the sos 
support studs which attach to  the belly block. Also could use damper up-stop 
rails, though we can make these  if we have to. But it would help to know what 
the original dimensions  were.

Any referrals, or tracings, or advice as to how to otherwise  proceed would 
be appreciated.

Issac, my old friend, are you reading  this?

Thanks and Cheers

Nick G
