If I may, a word of caution. NY Improved may be different specs. then teh Deitz book. Never compared the data. You may want to confirm with David Kirkland at S&S. A wealth of knowledge.

Steinway offers a package of shims to shim up the action stack when the string plane height above the keybed exceeds specifications.

Cheers RicB Keith, Here's the info I have: >From the book, "Steinway Regulation" by F. R.

I seem to recall a mention of rotating the stack instead of just raising it. We have a D and an O that are in need of some adjustment. The shanks arewya too high above the rebound felts for even the solution for CAF to be effective. The capstans are low. Can the archives be accessed now and does anybody remember the thread name? Also, if there is a wippen center pin height spec, I would appreciate that info. Keith Roberts -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
