PIANO ACTION PARTS
| ORDERING INFORMATION: MINIMUM
ORDER: SHIPPING
POLICY: You MUST browse the Catalog area, and try to learn what you want. We no longer search our catalog for you. Have
this information ready: Make
sure you are in the catalog area for your kind of piano-- If you are confused, call us for assistance. If we do not answer the phone, we are probably here-- Just leave a message- we will
return your call (it may not be the same day). |
This includes all of the moving parts from your finger to the hammers, and we
add pedals works and Player piano action parts via links down this page.
If in doubt, please go to the diagram pages and double check to see if you are ordering the right part. It is impossible to give a "Back" button to return to so many pages, so please use your browser's "Back" button.
Also, I give you a link to the page which tells how to make the repair or installation of the new part.
"Nothing
soothes me more, after a long and maddening course of pianoforte recitals, than
to sit and have my teeth drilled."
George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright
and music critic.
EXHAUSTIVE WORD INDEX OF THE WHOLE SITE:
PARTS WHICH ARE NOT LISTED IN THIS CATALOG:
We have contacted a custom piano part maker who has many years in the trade.
He is making any wooden piano action parts from your sample parts or from his
patterns on hand. We will have to call and get a quote for your part based on how
difficult it is to make and the quantity you need. One part is a minimum order, so
old freak action parts no longer need send an old piano to the city dump.
Look at the parts we offer, and if your part is missing, SEND MAIL and we will
get a quote for you.

Key
Lever Repair Scotch Clip
Glue the broken key back
together with Elmer's Carpenter's Glue.
After it is
dry, open the jaws of a bench vice, and hold the key
lever with the clip points against the side of the lever and on either
side of the break. Have a second person slowly close the vice
jaws as you steady the key lever and clip. Stop when the
clip is well embedded. A second clip may be embedded in the
other side of the key lever, but be sure to offset it
so that the
points do not meet in the wood.
SHkeyclip
$ 2.00 ea
SHkeyclip $ 6.00 dozen
Illustration showing the Scotch Clip applied to wood.
The black line represents a break in a key lever. After gluing,
the clip is applied in a bench vise, one clip on each side of
the key lever. The vise presses the clips in without hammering.
Wood glue should be used at the same time for added strength.
The clips are VERY dangerous for children to play with.

as a pattern. A digital photo

also help him. We will have to get a quote--

GET
THE LEAD IN
Key Leads- Used to weight key levers. Please call and talk to Keith before ordering key leads. They may or
may not be the appropriate step for your piano.
These weights are round and are inserted in lateral
holes in the key levers. To determine
where
you finally want them, glue a couple octaves on top of the key levers with rubber
cement and determine what key resistance you like.
Then, once the ideal position is
determined,
drill the key lever in the center of the key laterally with a hole the size of
the
small end of the lead. Lay the key lever
on a flat surface and tap the key weight into the
hole. Use some drift of some sort to peen the small end to expand the lead
and trap it
in the hole, or glue it in.
If you have extra leads left over, they make
great fishing weights :-)

Key
weights-
"Jiffy" type leads
with two screws to attach each lead-
These
leads can be attached on top of the key lever or under it.
Some students have an upright with a very light touch, while
they
have to perform on a grand with a
heavy touch. These can be added
to the
back area of the key lever to give a heavy touch. Later, if you
wish to sell the piano, they can be removed.
It is not smart to only add weights to certain keys.
The overall key touch will become uneven and
very annoying.
By the way, these leads
make great fishing weights where you want
to
add weight way back up the line from the bait and leader after
you are all rigged up.

HUMIDITY INDICATOR CARDS
This neat little card is the easy way to learn what the humidity is in your piano. The card is like the cards you have seen for years which turn blue or pink according to the humidity.
The percent of relative humidity is on the card, and you will figure this by the spot which is lavender between blue and pink. This card is used in the silica gel trade in another application, so you will ignore the instruction to "change the deccicant."
If you use this card, by placing it in the piano cabinet, you will know if your heat bar is over drying the piano, and you will be able to see if the humidity gets above the level you desire.
