Thanks, Tom Driscoll > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the best of my knowledge S&S has not used Renner action parts for several years. I would assume that the action parts in the piano in question were made by S&S. Since I do not yet have any experience with the new "new" S&S action parts I would follow the advice of someone who has until--or unless--my own personal experience teaches me otherwise. Regards, Del
