  • 1.  Boston bridge cap

    I am getting ready to re-cap a Boston model GP-193 II. 

    The existing bridge cap is rife with failures, but has not lifted (delaminated). 

    Does anyone have a method to get the cap glue joint to release from the root without routing/planing or otherwise griding it off?

    TIA

    You might consider asking David Reed at Kawai, or Don Mannino (now retired from Kawai).
