I'm placing this request on the List for a friend, who is an RPT rebuilder/technician/pianist. The piano is a Young Chang G150, Serial #80xxx, which should put it in the '02-'03 area. It is physically sound, cosmetically near-perfect, as much as a small grand in its price range can be. A short time ago, the lady who owns it called to report a loud "BANG!"...and there is now a crack right in the middle of the range, going from an agraffe to the front-row tuning pin. Everything looks fine, nothing out of place, plate bearing bolt in place correctly, no obvious problems (other than the crack). He has been able to reach Sam at Young Chang, who said that a new plate is out of the question, that model having been superseded some time ago. What my friend would like to know is whether anyone has, or knows of a piano of this model (cosmetics obviously not important) with an intact plate, that might be for sale at a reasonable price. Or, better yet, does someone just happen to have a plate for this model taking up space in an otherwise pristine shop? (He didn't say, but I'd think anywhere in the midwest, not too far from the Chicago area would be preferable...Wim, I don't think he wants one from your territory! ) Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice!
