John, Before you call Steinway give Jim Ialeggio a call. He's a tech here in our chapter (Boston) and offers this service. He's top notch in all of his work . I'm sure the Steinway suggestion has merit but another option is out there.

What are the current thoughts regarding buying a new action frame from Steinway versus having the old one repaired, a la John Dewey? First action replacement job...notice this morning that there are splits in all action rails. Not split throughout all sections of each rail, but in each rail. Don't recall seeing any before today. So maybe it happened whilst removing old parts last Friday. Good to know now rather than later, I suppose. I guess I sure know how to pick 'em. Sigh.... :) So, I can get a new frame from Steinway for about half the cost of getting the old one repaired. What are the pros and cons of each?
