Ditto: I got a sample one of these at the NEECSO Seminar in late April in Nashua from Kirk. It is a sweet looking system. And a top nut that is gaw-jus. And I think it would work well with plate boss holes that are oversized and oblongated, although we never see that in Steinways. It does have a wood thread in the base too.

Bruce Clark/Kirk Burgett have produced a nice solid adjustable plate support system for 9 bucks apiece. It has a 5/16th or so hex head in the top. More beef to turn it with. Ron N......Look...a beautiful top nut. I surmise that it will be far easier to deal with when installing. Well providing the holes line up thru the plate bosses. But it sit in the head & it is a very substantial system. I believe it is used in all New M&H's. Ok it's more money but it's elegant & beefy and perhaps a bit easier to use. Comes in two lengths. Looks like 2 to 3 1/2 inches. And the head of the bolt is thinner than some & may require less soundboard hole relief. Comes with a nice Nickel plate flat washer. Very Nice.
