Steinway double-bushed damper guide rail?

[Mark Cramer]

 Hi John,
We continue to have success using a method described in the archives; Feb.
04, 2002.

Another thought to consider is the current Steinway approach, where a
"tension bend" in the wire compells it to bear/travel on one side of the
bushing only.

This method does not require a close tolerance between wire and bushing
size,.. do you get what I'm not saying?   :>)

Nonetheless, to avoid a lot of un-necessary wire bending, I would continue
striving to duplicate the orignal.

If I may John, where in the process are you experiencing dis-satisfaction;
material sizing, fitting material to the rail, sizing the bushings,
long-term stability, etc?

sincerely,
Mark Cramer,
Brandon University

We've had varying degrees of success rebushing these over the years. Short
of making a new rail does anyone have a favorite system for rebushing
these?
