Steinway guide pins

[FRED W TREMPER]

In a recent post Jerry Anderson cautioned us not to hit the cheek block
with a forceful blow for fear of bending the guide pin.  I did that once in
the presence of Tom Porter (Chicago Chapter) and he almost had a heart
attack.  He showed me the proper way: When you have the action in and the
cheek blocks are close to their proper position, exercise the shift pedal
pedal.  The cheek blocks will fall into place.  No banging is necessary.
