There isn't a glue mark where the old sharps were attached? David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044 Original message From: "Paul Chick" To: Pianotech at Ptg.Org Received: 6/18/2008 5:36:35 PM Subject: Length of Sharps A set of keys from a 1942 Steinway L arrived in the shop for new whites and sharps. All the original tops are GONE!...that includes the sharps. What I can find to measure is 3 ½. I checked on a 1969 Steinway M and they measure 3 5/8. Ebony sharps from the vendors measure 3 ¾. Steinway & Sons were not helpful. Does anyone have an early 1940s L handy to measure them for me? My concern is the distance between the back of the sharp to the fall board. All I have is the keys .Please!! Thank you to all. BTW. Thank you for your responses to my pin block question. Ill take the advice(s) to the piano and determine the best approach, then report back to you. Paul C -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
