This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey Phil, Ishmael or whoever is there may not like you removing actions, but because of what I have seen on sales floors, I have pulled the actions of the ones being considered, just to have a look. I've seen pianos with one lone hammer 30% smaller than the rest, or C88 filed down to the underfelt/nearly wood. I've also seen hammer lines altered in weird abrupt ways within a section, etc. I think it's just good to take your time, check basic geometry or regulation to see if anything unusual exists, you'll be stuck later to keep it up : ). You just never know what "oops" may be hidden... Of course, if you find an "oops", you have to ask if this "oops" matters. Enjoy the trip, have fun while there. P.S. Cheek block screws are VERY tight there. Wimpy screw drivers don't do it.

I enjoy reading all your comments and insights. I will be travelling to NYC with the Chairman of the Music Dept and another Prof of Music from the local university in my area to choose two Steinway D's and two B's at Steinway Hall. As the tech in the mix, can anyone suggest what I should look for? My playing skills are limited but I think I do know a great piano when I hear one. Both profs are quite talented so I should be spending most of my day listening. Any and all comments would be appreciated. We've already taken delivery of three B's (these were taken on order - no selction involved) and all three are quite different pianos. We've also received three Boston GP-178's and several Boston uprights. The Bostons were considerably more prepped than the S&S's!
