[pianotech] Help with a Young Chang plate

[Delwin D Fandrich]

Stan,

 

Even though these frames were vacuum-cast there will be enough differences
between individual plates to preclude economically replacing the casting.

 

This does, however, sound very much like a repair that could be accomplished
by the Lock-N-Stitch method. See http://www.locknstitch.com/

 

>From your description of the crack-a picture would be worth quite a few
words-it should be able to make this repair without removing the frame from
the piano. If this cannot be done it is probably not economically feasible
to repair the piano. 

 

Before doing anything else the owner should take a look at his/her
warrantee.

Thanks so much, Patrick, Dean, Will and Larry.  I've passed these
suggestions along to my friend.  Personally, I think the two best options
are the repair angle and craigslist, though I know he has an aversion to
craigslist, generally.  If there are other suggestions out there, we'd
appreciate your thoughts.

Will, he didn't mention a problem with tuning stability and I think he would
have, had such been the case.  I've asked the question and will report back.
I've also asked about the warranty situation.

from an agraffe to the front-row tuning pin.
