Hey Alan, What size knuckle? (10mm, 9? Etc.) Jim -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Alan McCoy Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 12:26 PM To: College and University Technicians <caut at ptg.org> Subject: [CAUT] Parts Hi Folks and Happy New Year to all, When you buy your next action parts - shanks, flanges, backchecks and wippens - which manufacturer are you going to choose? And why? Abel? Tokiwa? Renner? Steinway? I am currently working on a S&S M replacing S&F only and using Abel parts. Not finished with the job yet, but so far I like the parts. Pinning consistent at around 3g. Shank radius weight mostly at 5g, with a dozen at 4g and another dozen at 6g. Knuckle line is good. (Though I had to do a lot of flange papering to compensate for the S&S rail design. I can't see much advantage to this design. What am I missing?) Thanks for your thoughts and experience.
