Since patents last 20 years, I'm having a hard time with the idea that the Steinway "rosette" rail is still patented. They have been using that configuration for 120 years that I know of. I've also used tons of Renner parts and never had a problem with their fitting on the rail. I have to think you just got one bad batch or something. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 10/19/01 at 2:24 PM Michelle L Stranges wrote: >Hmmm... for the fella that asked why the old wippens were being >replaced... > >the old ones were teflon. > >THe renners were ordered. >THe cut- out doesn't match well with the Steinway rail. >All of the centerpins and parts lined up, hence the reason for ordering >that >particular wippen. > >A patent is the reason?? >THat is VERY interesting to know. > >Sure hope I did not send the wrong message about Renner..
