I am currently rebuilding a Steinway "B" from 1912 that has 0.162" balance rail pins. These are not listed in Schaff, Apsco or Steinway parts catalogs. Does anyone know where I can find some? These are the nicest keys I have come across. Each mortise is well made and in excellent shape. Black key guide pin mortises are in the middle of the key and none are split out. The black keys are wider than on current production pianos. The keys also appear to be red cedar rather than sugar pine - though I'm certainly not an expert on wood types. They are light in weight, yet appear to be strong. A0 has only 3 leads in it. dave _______________________________ David M.
