Dave, Do you have one of the Renner sample parts kits? This (or ordering yourself one of each particular item from each manufacturer) would allow you to "try out" the fit and leverage of each combination. There are a number of ways to work with the mass and leverage ratios and this, in conjunction with some experimentation might be your best route. Allan Allan L.

Should I go with all original Steinway parts, although I've had weight problems with them before on a piano, or go with aftermarket parts using the newer light hammers Pianotek has advertised. >>
