In the parts catalog, I see a topstick tongue.? Is that the same thing as the short stick?? Also, it comes as ebony finished if wanted - I wonder if that will be gloss or satin.?? If it's high polish I'll have to rub it out to a satin.? Steinway parts dept. just had an answering machine and they haven't called back.
