Brinsmead Grand Piano Action C-1870-1880
Post by willzi_0007 »
What a nightmare!
I am trying to do some repairs on this action, but there is no information about this style of action anywhere on the internet that I can find, and it is really doing my head in!
The action is quite simple, I would almost compare it to an upright action, and it seems everything I try and do to the action of this piano has the reverse effect that I desire!
My question is, has anyone ever had to work on the action of a Brinsmead grand piano before, and if so, did you find it especially challenging?
Any constructive criticism and help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Will

I hate the old Pleyel actions with the check wire trhough the middle of the shank. The underneath damper system is a joy to work with, give it to someone else!
