Thanks. > > > Dennis Johnson > djohn@skypoint.com Dennis, As far as I know, M&H never had small knuckle/low leverage parts. They always have been larger knuckle/higher leverage, although the pre 1930 instruments did have a slightly smaller knuckle, it never was like the old Steinway ones. And again, was always higher leverage. vince mrykalo rpt byu provo utah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We should stand in awe of what we don't know, and acknowledge that what we do know is messed up - Howard Bahr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
