Steinway Wippens

[Barrie Heaton]

Hi Avvery,

The  problem you will find with these wippens they tend to de-regulate
themselves after a humidity change, like all screws the up and down
changes of humidity tends to move the screw.  some times you can go back
to a piano and think who the hells been messing with this.

This is what tends to happen with the Herberger Brooks action but it is
nice just to turn a screw.  Incidentally the new Herberger Brooks action
has switched over to the butterfly spring.

Regards,

Barrie.
