List, I ordered "Steinway Style" backchecks from Schaff for a 1890's vintage S&S B and find the new parts (Tokiwa) are 1/4" longer than the old. Should I screw down to match the height (top) of the old backchecks, match the bottoms, or in between? I seem to recall reading about some recommended modification (Journal?) that leaves the hammers checking higher. I just don't want to waste time experimenting if someone on the list would be kind enough to steer me straight!
