>List: I was servicing an older S&S "L" today and had to pull the action. > About 1/2 of the shanks had knuckles that were felt ONLY - no buckskin. >Did Steinway ever use that style of knuckle?? You win the prize! But only half of them? Somebody didn't have enough in stock to replace the whole set, I guess. I've only had a couple pianos with this problem -- does anybody out there know how long this was being done (sometime in the 50s &/or 60s, I thiink, but fortunately not very long). Patrick Draine
