Clicking drop screws on a new Steinway

[William R. Monroe]

Brand new?

First thing I'd do is call S&S and say what the ____??

For 60K or whatever, they should probably remedy this the old fashioned way,
don't you think?

Maybe ask them if they'd pay for replacement with Renner Parts ;-]

Don't really know of a good fix short of removing the screws, building the
wood and redrilling.  I suppose CA might work, I might try it in an old PSO,
but with a new piano, this is poor workmanship/quality IMO.

Regards,
William R. Monroe
