Pianotech

Good morning,  This is my month for ancient whippen work.  I have a client with an 1881 Weber Grand that was rebuilt in the 1990s.  A couple of what I can only call "connectors" have broken (picture included).  I have tried sourcing these in various places, but no luck.  I wondered if any of you all had come across one of these and what you did to repair it.  I have thought about cutting a small piece of  wood.  Thanks in advance for any information!  

When i get pianos like this i duplicate the parts in my shop. I have a end-mill and i had custom bits made (like a birdseye bit)for making piano parts. I can't wait to see what you come up with so please show the after pic.

Good luck!

We are currently rebuilding a Hardman that was made in 1887. It has linkages that look very similar to yours. We are converting this Hardman to the modern capstan style which means we have a whole set of these whippens with linkages. I would be glad to send you a few to see if they work. Feel free to contact me about them.
