How long are the screws? When you tighten them, are they tightening the flanges, or just bottoming out in the rail?
(I'm assuming the rail is not split.)

  Hi gang! 

  I'm puzzled!  I'm now working on a 1966 Steinway M with a strange thing going on.  I looked and the wippens and they're all askew and not in any kind of even line on the brass rail. Some places, they're nearly 2mm off.  I tried to attach a picture, but it was too big. I'm still getting used to my new camera and iMac (having been a life-time PC guy).   

  I checked the wips themselves, and they're all good.  I can't "see" anything off on the brass rail, but only took off 3 wips in a row to check the rail out. 

  Have any of you ever come across this?  I've got a message out to our tech support guy about the picture, but perhaps you know what I'm describing. 

  Thanks for any help. 

  Paul
