[CAUT] traveling refinements

[Conrad Hoffsommer]

The grumpy olde man in me says that the partial papering could also be just simply laziness and/or inattention as to how far the paper was under the flange.  Cross papering could also be the result of multiple people and/or traveling sessions. 

I am NOT discounting the effects possible by careful work.

Hi Barbara,

 

Yes, the shape of the flange actually helps by giving you more “angles”.
The main thing is the “cross-papering” you can do when the flange actually needs
to twist slightly. Paper can be place on the front/one side, and kitty-corner
on the opposite side. This actually can line up the hammer (usually when the
flange is “cocked” a bit) and travel at the same time. So, in a nutshell not
only can you “tilt” the flange as in traveling, but you can slightly alter the
direction. Is that what you mean? Hope that is useful.

 

Best,

Jim

Greetings list:



I'm very familiar with traveling Steinway parts, but not flat flanges. 
Are there refinements to traveling them--other than just placing the traveling
paper to one side or the other and the proximity to the flange hole?  When
I removed parts from the hammer rail of an action I'm working on, I noticed
that sometimes paper was placed for or aft and not often the entire length of
the flange.  I understand the different widths of the paper, but not the
for and aft placement on flat flanges.



Thanks,
