Hi Andr=E9, I've heard this quoted many times and read the=20 myth also, but the Hamburg D's at least are=20 certainly set up with more than 10 mm dip (the=20 very latest instruments may be an exception, I=20 don't know since I haven't regulated any - anyone=20 out there with a comment?). In the early 90's I=20 watched a Hamburg tech, Martin Bagg, set up a D=20 with at least 10.5 mm dip while using a 9.8 mm=20 gauge block. I find it most surprising that a=20 piano manufacturer, which regards itself as=20 fastidious, would publish figures and sell=20 matching gauge blocks, while setting their pianos=20 quite differently. =46or those who are interested, our new I-rib sound=20 board was glued into the Wangaratta Stein D case=20 yesterday. I'll post with further information=20 once I get more images online.
