Curious. Are Steinway balance pins installed at a 3 degree angle? I haven't noticed, but I also haven't checked. I _have_ noticed on occasion that the holes in some of the half rounds weren't square, which is why reversing them would change key level. But I hadn't noticed a consistent pattern. I assumed it was just inconsistency in manufacture. Regards, Fred Sturm fssturm at unm.edu "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."
