Striking distance Question was curious Steinway- Lauter Humana

[Harry Pickett]

In reference to rebuilding my Lauter Humana
I really excited by this learning experience.
I have a question which is probably simplistic at best.
In regards to the striking distance on the Lauter? I assume that because
it is a full upright it is 1/2? I need this info to order hammers.
Thanks for (down) bearing with a novice!
