[CAUT] Renner back action

[Jeff Tanner]

Any reason not to use the back action from Steinway?  They CLAIM it is a 2 
hour job, and that there shouldn't be any re-engineering. I suppose their 
claims are based on what is being done in the restoration center where the 
techs do that job on a regular basis.  I've not done that job. I'd ordered a 
S&S back action for a B at the university, but we never got that piano in 
the shop before I left. But it is SUPPOSED to be made to fit as a direct 
replacement with a simple side to side adjustment.
