Hi,

I have a 1978 knabe console and would like to know if there is glue on woodbridge. I have read that some have and other don't. Is there any video or tutorial showing how to remove it?

Thanks.

The soundboard bridge; the woodbridge on wich there are
notches

Hi, I have an upright console, and have very little grooves on the bridge following the notches in the direction of the tuning pins. I think that it can diminish the sustain time of the strings. How make disappear these grooves? Fill with epoxy? Sand it? other? Thanks.

Hi, I have noticed , in my knabe spinet, that there was no understring felts near the hitch pins and the wood bridge in the third section; same for the second section near the hitch pins.

Thanks

Thanks,

And if i remove this pressure bar, what kind of material will appear on the other side? (This is to solve a generalized buzz problem)

Hi all, Is there anyone who can tell me ( in an upright) the name of the plate between the tuning pins and the metallic V bridge? It seems to exerce a pressure on the strings, and there are many big screws to retain it? Is there any silencing device on the opposite side of this? ( Sorry for my bad e...

Hi,

Is there any one who can tell me what are (and where are) the `` bearing points on the plate`` in an upright piano. I think it is related to the strings, but, this item doesn't appear on my piano diagramm.
Thanks
