For replacing broken plastic drop lifter elbows on spinet pianos.
There is a slot in the end so that with gentle
pressure the elbow can be pressed onto the center
pin of the wippen. This saves the time-consuming work
of removing and replacing the center pins.
Simply break off the old elbow
(with cutting pliers if necessary),
thread the wire into the elbow, then snap
the elbow onto the center pin. It is not
necessary to remove the action or the wippens
from the piano.
Sold in sets only (approx. 90 in a set).
Yes, these are what you need to replace the yellowed,
cracking, old elbows in a Gulbransen spinet piano or
the Betsy Ross spinet by Lester
(among other brands).
