Repairing a Cremona C at DeBence Museum
By Scotty Greene

The DeBence Museum has been given a Cremona C which we have repaired to
playing condition, with one step left to go: the hammer butt hinge felt
bushings are badly worn so that sometimes a hammer strikes an adjacent
string.

The hammers are not great but will do for now.  We need to find someone
who will install new felt bushings at the sloppy hinges.  So far our
normal contacts are not available for this job.  Also remember we are a
small non-profit and operate on a shoestring budget.  Any leads would be
appreciated.
