Hello there, long time lurker here!
Just a quick question, does anybody know why Bechsteins have different agraffes
in the top treble section?-Is it just for added strength?
Thanks in advance,
Lewis.

FWIW...the parts are already overpriced.

Yesterday, I removed 2 of the most offendingly weak hammers and applied a fairly
strong titration of lacquer:acetone from the sides right at the top of the
molding. This morning put them on, and viola.....much improved! I think
there's still hope :>) I think I just didn't have enough in the core of the
hammer, nor did S&S soak them much.
BTW: Remember Steinway's parts prices are going up on the 21st, so order what
you need now. I'm putting a pretty hefty order to handle the next 3 rehabs: 2
M's and a B. Boss said go for it since I'll be ordering the stuffs anyway, so
why not save some doh-ray-me?
I'll give you a follow up after completing the other offending hammers.
Thanks for all the tips.
Paul
