Dear list, I need advice on Steinway Teflon reamers. I seldom see Teflon Steinways, and in our humid climate here, seldom have clicking problems. Usually looking at replacing the action when I do. But now I am faced with needing the tools. I ordered the kit from Steinway - special pins, bushings, pin vice, inserter, no reamers, plastic case, $98. Yikes! Now, I need reamers. Steinway has 4 (.048,.049,.050,.051, $20 each). I have a set of the jeweler tapered reamers from Schaff or American I use for cloth bushings. Questions: Do you use tapered reamers and will mine work, or do I need special reamers? What sizes? Do I need the kit from Steinway? I see Schaff and American has some of the stuff. Thanks for your advice. Lance Lafargue, RPT Mandeville, LA New Orleans Chapter, PTG lancelafargue@bellsouth.net 985.72P.IANO Lance Lafargue lancelafargue@bellsouth.net 985.72P.IANO
