Nearly two years ago, I was given an early 1920s Chappell upright that was in poor playing condition that I had intended to get working again.

Thanks for the advice. Luckily I didn't take the back rail out - all I have done is remove the keys all at once so I could re-bush and then removed all the paper washers, the bits of felt washers that were left plus the mouse nest and moth eggs.

The baize and washers were virtually non existent!

Erm, no, I didn't take a measurement!!!! School boy error looking back now!

Have now re-bushed the keys on my ancient Chappell upright I need some advice on balancing them now

I had to take out all the felts and paper shims as it was completly rotten - moths and mice had been busy.

I need the bushing felts on the keys redoing on my Chappell Upright - looks as if the moths have had a great time in there!

Is there someone I can send these to to get done and how much would it cost roughly

Many thanks
