Like I said, though, I do not have a focused mental image of this. It was several weeks ago that I saw it, but this is the first time I've had time to even think about doing anything about it. Dave Stahl Dave, Back to my point---if it is a butt plate why call it a tongue? I don't mean to be annoying on this point, but in my opinion as professional technicians we serve the trade, our customers and ourselves by using correct terminology. My intention is not to belittle anyone here, but to encourage the use of correct nomenclature .I might not comprehend the more advanced discussions on piano design, but I can at least use the correct terms in my modest contributions to this list. I have seen this point taken too far by some. The whippen-wippen choice an example in my opinion. Use either one and were all on the same page.
