replacing a back action on a 1909 Steinway B

[Fenton Murray]

Ed,
I'm looking at this in my mind's eye, but, the only clearance problem I can 
think of would ultimately be the sos. blade interfering with back checks. Do 
I have that right? That could certainly be solved with a smaller back check, 
or ones that were scalloped on the back side.
