I try and help, and this forum is an obstacle.

When I insert, because it didn't like it as an attachment similar to how every other mail program since the 1980's works, it puts it upside down.

Why, for the love of a higher power, does HL put the photo upside down?!? It's right side up on my camera, same on my computer. You have to plug and re drill the action bracket screw holes on the frame and get about a 1/4 inch longer screws but it's pretty straight forward. Here's a quick photo I took of the end brackets side by side. I am in the process of doing one right now. Natural, Lower Logic filtered out the photo I attached. I usually charge about $500 - $600 for this. The brackets are free, but you have to charge the customer to replace them, and probably do action regulations. If this is the case, the company will replace the brackets for free.Ĭontact Sam at Young Chang, and he'll send you a new set of brackets. Also look at the color of the brackets-the affected ones are the color of pewter. If the serial number begins with G or YG it's a Young Chang. String to hammers measured 2 1/4' in the bass and 1 7/8' in rest of the piano.Īny ideas? have you had this happen? The customer does not know what kind of exposure the piano had previously.Īre you certain it was made by Samick? Those symptoms sound like a Young Chang-made Weber with the expanding action brackets, roughly 1988-1995 IIRC. The measurements indicated the piano was not reaching letoff: The Mid range key dip was only about 8mm or 5/16, lacking about 1/8' needed for proper letoff.

Only the upper most treble break was functioning reasonably, and had hammers that actually were having letoff. It has serious regulation issues.Ībout 80% of the hammers are bobbling, double, triple striking, ect. I am working on a pearly white 5' 1980's weber grand, by samick. I had this happen recently to a clients 1994 Wurlitzer. The brackets will need to be changed out by contacting Young Chang for replacements. Young Chang, Wurlitzer, Weber, Knabe, Cline and PianoDiscPD series from 19 had an incorrect alloy alloy put into the action brackets by a third party YC had outsourced to.

Click the Accoustic Parts and warranty link at. If the serial number is between 050050 of the Weber it probably has sustained expanding action brackets on the bass end. Subject: Weber 5' Grand: Action Problems! Warping?
