Allright .... there are plenty of "Preservationists" in our Profession. 2025 would be a good year to come clean. There are plenty of needs like the brass flanges for Chickerings, Long stickers and tall whippens for full upright pianos, lyres, screws, music desks, lid hinges
Can you believe the year 2000 was 25 Years Ago !!!

I wouldn't say I'm hoarding. I'm lovingly conserving lots and lots and lots of spare parts for screwstringers. :)

I am close to finishing a rebuild job on an old 1897 Mason and Hamlin Screwstringer. I have around 175 hours of work into this project and am finally close to being finished, but today I was tightening up a string and the hook that the string attaches to at the tuning end of the string snapped in two. The hook I need is a treble hook that goes on the back row. I actually need two of them since there was already one missing on the top note. I sure hope someone has such an instrument that can be used for spare parts. Otherwise I'm Screwstringered!
