Young Chang Brackets

[ITUNEPIANO at aol.com]

On expanding action brackets, the piano will tell you.  The hammers  tend to 
block against the strings.  In the early stages, adjusting the  let-off and 
blow distance will be a temporary fix, but I don't recommend it  -  this fix 
only lasts about a year before the blocking happens  again.  The adjustments will 
only have to be reversed when the brackets are  replaced, so it's best to 
replace the brackets in the first place. The new  brackets are substantially 
lighter in weight than the bad ones.  I ran into  one today, a mid 90's Y/C Knabe. 
 I couldn't tune it and will order  brackets on Monday.   I'm wondering if 
this issue will be like the  plastic elbow jobs - I'm getting several a year 
now.
