BRIDLE STRAPS FOR ALL UPRIGHTS

If your upright piano has the hole below the catcher on the hammer butt stump,
you need the cork ended straps. If you have no extension below the catcher,
and no hole that is about 1/4 inch diameter, you need the metal clip on strap.
The original strap was anchored in the hammer butt in the hole where the catcher
shank was attached to the hammer butt. Simply cut the excess off that is left of
the old strap. You are not going to try to insert the new strap into the hammer
butt hope-- cannot be done.

Inserter for cork ended bridle straps- We no longer provide the simple tool
Make one by removing the top off of a carpet tack and embed the blunt end in one
end of a 1/4 inch wood dowel. Push the point into the back end of the cork and
follow the instructions at:

Butt plate to rail repair clips:

This is a new item for an alternative repair of a broken brass rail tongue.  Historically, our brass repair clips have been used to replace a tongue that is broken at the groove or screw hole.  Our new clip does not require a screw and butt plate. For installation, simply remove the hammer butt assembly; install the repair clip to the existing butt by using the #20 center pin; file the brass rail material down to / or past the screw hole; mix epoxy and apply to the repair clip and insert on to the brass rail. 
Included in our new kit is (12) repair clips, (12) 347-20 center pins, and (2) Hardman convenience packets of fast setting epoxy.

Penistan Wippen repair part-

              I have used these with very satisfactory results.
             
This only works with wippens which receive a sticker centered in a cavity
              in the under side of the wippen where one skirt of the wippen is destroyed.
              Screw provided.  You must mount the clip with the sticker in place, then
              shorten the pin with diagonal pliers or nippers.
