In Don and Randy Morton's class on the grand action, given in=20
Albuqueque, Randy mentioned that the reason a smaller knuckle
may give a better results is because the centerpin location on=20
the hammer flange may be too low.  He stated that his research
indicates that by raising the pin's location at the flange by=20
2mm on the Steinway shanks and flanges and I think, the other=20
styles as well (Tokiwa), gives the best results when replacing=20
parts, because that is where the original placement was. FWIW.  =20

I may be simply having semantic problems here, but I don't understand wha=
t he meant by "raising the pin's location at the flange."  Does he mean s=
himming up the whole flange by 2mm, or is he talking about a manufacturin=
g problem?  Otherwise, the concept makes sense to me.
