So, please explain all those Steinway actions with Teflon bushings that, once the pins and bushings were properly installed and mated, have gone on working flawlessly for some three decades now.   I understand about the hole in the wood and occasionally it could be a problem. But not nearly as often as was claimed by some. It was also a problem that could easily be fixed.  ddf  Delwin D FandrichPiano Design & Fabrication620 South Tower AvenueCentralia, Washington 98531 USAdel at fandrichpiano.comddfandrich@gmail.com

Subject: Re: [CAUT] Teflon Bushings  Del,      With all due respect, give credit to Steinway. Basically the quotefrom the WNG site on what went wrong. Along with " a hole in woodis circular only at the EMC which it is drilled at."   Therefore,I agree for contact stiffness the hard bushing for the shank flangemakes all the sense , anywhere else in the action, just get rid of itor make teflon beaded necklaces. Brent
