Hi Newton,
                 Quite true for Steinway's and many other brands.   But the
Baldwin front rail slides on 6 glide bolts.  For my money there was more
stability when the bolts were in the rail, and not the key bed.
The rails are quarter sawn maple, and I have not noticed any thing amiss
with the rails. The bolts however need attention.

Got ya.  
Roger
