[CAUT] traveling refinements

[Barbara Richmond]

Thanks, Jim. I was taught to cross paper on Steinways and thought it was the Steinway shape that required it. I haven't done much traveling on flat-flanged parts and couldn't remember if the same rules applied. One of those blips in my experience.... :-)

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,
