    For those of you who know this issue inside and out:

    Would Weber grand #G099939 be within the scope of EBS?  I'm seeing possible signs of it as I'm getting started tuning. 

    WG-51 model number

    I believe it is as well. I have a list that I will try finding and posting. I think I have done two Webers. The problem is not confined to Young Chang exclusively. you may see visible cracks, bubbled finish, flaking etc. The last brackets I did where for a Pramberger. Supply 88 is a good source for new brackets

    Yes, I just checked with Mark and determined by measurement which ones are right for this piano. I will have them on hand for when I do the job.

    Young Chang grand serial numbers between 053945-G115767 1990-1998 are suspect.
