Renner

[David ilvedson]

List,

I am replacing NY Steinway (teflon) shanks & flanges with 
Renner.  From the Renner kit I can see that the flange is a lot 
thinner than the NY flange.  Is this going to compress the 
action spread enough that I should shim with veneer or such?  
This action has tons of lead in it but the action is too light.  
My objective is to remove a lead or two.  Should I remove one 
furthest from the balance rail or two nearest the balance rail?  
Of all the Renner shank possiblilities I like the Hamburg best.  
Renner in their literature doesn't recommend it because of  
regulation problems.  It seems to regulate OK.  Any ideas 
where I might have problems?

Thanks in advance
