Hi Alan, others In the end its just another way of doing the same thing. I dont see it as a problem one way or the other myself and I honestly dont have any more trouble alligning and traveling hammers to strings the Stein-way as I do any other way. Once you know the reasoning behind it... its just 50 cents of one and a half dollar of the other IMB. The only real problem I run into with these is on some older models where the centerpin hole to flange screw hole distance is a bit shorter then whats available now. Now THATS a real pain in the patootey IYAM. Someone mentioned springy rails that rob power. The hands down most springy power robbing rails I've ever seen have always been on the C series Yamahas. JME. Cheers RicB Yeah, I'm referring to the "scalloped" profile of the rails. Only in theory does it make any sense to me. In practice they can be a real pain. Though I invite someone to convince me they are a brilliant idea. Alan
