John, That part is an extremely rough version of an unfinished keyframe and keyset. It is not cut to size, no shoes for the action brackets, etc...just a raw frame and keys. The keys don't have capstans or backchecks either. They total width of the keyboard is 48 3/8" as opposed to 48", which yours probably is. It is basically exactly what Steinway gets from Kluge. It will fit, but you will need to cut off a bit of a keyblock and do a heck of a lot of work. You're better off talking to Bob Marinelli at Pianotek or various other people who specialize in manufacturing new keyboards onto existing keyframes.
