[pianotech] WNG Parts Question(s)

[Joseph Garrett]

Agreed. However, for odd-ball type PSO's, (which I work on, a lot), It might be the way to go, as a last resort sort of thingee.<G>

I guess the next tool WNG needs is an tight fitting insert with a ridge to remove the hammers. Being a traditional Steinway man, I don't think I could go that route.

David Love asked: "With all these issues, what's the overriding advantage in using them?" 


David,
Omygawd, they're modern Technology! So,....that makes em' "da best", donchaknow??<G>
Personally, I'm giving all of this stuff a wide berth and wait for all the flack to quit falling.<G>
Two thoughts: 1. Shank flexibility is necessary for tone and repetition, IMHO. 2. Removing hammers, with a hollow tube for a shank, using traditional tools, would be pretty much impossible, IMHO.
As for the Steinway "A" with these parts...that's about as far afield as it can get, to NOT being a Steinway. Not recommended for any resale situation, per most Dealers I know.
