[pianotech] Stiff WNG? (was Steinway top)

[johnparham at piano88.com]

I've been to two WNG classes to familiarize myself with the new
composite parts concept. In one of the classes we actually glued on
hammers and trimmed shanks. I don't see repairs being an issue except
that it is different than good old wood and glue.
