Steck upright

[PAULREVENKOJONES]

David:

I notice that the action is laid down on its front in order for you to access the hammers for shaping, I presume. Do you support the action in any other way as you do this this way?

Tuned a nice old Steck upright yesterday.  As you can see, the hammers were 
WORN! 

I refaced them and ironed them, quantum leap in tone quality and evenness 
for minimal time input.  Really, they were a bit too worn to reface and new 
hammers would be much better.  But the owner is in his eighties and I don't 
think he would have spent the money. 

The piano struck me as being very like Bechsteins of the same size and age, 
tonally. 

David.
