It is my understanding that it is unnecessary to
curve S&S M hammer lines at all.  The model
where we see this on occasion is in model Bs,
where doing so in the 5th and 6th octaves can
make a difference.

List,

   I just picked up the action from a Steinway M
#526486 (1994, I think)
that has had hammers reglued (9) closer to the
flange. The notes are F# 5
thru D6. I was just wondering if anyone had ever run
across one of this
age which needed a curved hammer line.
Comments?
   Thanks.

Avery
