Avery, Renner has had replacement Steinway wippens with a regulating screw on = the repetition spring available for about 7 years now. They still are a = butterfly style spring, though. It is called a Herz spring, as I recall. If this piano really does not have a butterfly spring, then you have a = real odd one there. Don Mannino RPT I just discovered today that our rebuilt Steinway B has a wippen = without the butterfly repetition spring. It has a screw adjustment for the repetition. Is this something new? I wasn't aware there was one of this type available. Sure was nice adjusting the repetition that way, though. :-) Avery _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu _____________________________________
