Part of Richard Moody's post: >Which I am still trying to understand, Why would you need to space >the hammers to begin with?... Richard, LIst, Spacing hammers on Steinways is not an uncommon activity and is illustrated in the Steinway & Sons technical manual, pages 32-34. >I have been led to understand that if hammers on the S&S t.a.r. need >to be spaced, the flange holes are large enough to move to the left >or right to accomplish that. >Any more would cause the balance levers >to miss one side of the knuckle or other... If this should occur, then spacing the repetitions/supports/wippens to the hammershank knuckle is the next order of business as illustrated in the Steinway & Sons technical manual, page 35. Keith A.
