Enough said? > Back in the late 1070's and early 1980's when I was interested in the rebuilding end of the business, many people were putting plate bushings in Steinways. The word from Steinway at the time (and probably still is) was exactly the same reasoning that you put forth here, Dale. My only question about that is how far the tuning pin coil ended up being from the top of the pinblock. In some cases, it seems to me, the lack of a plate bushing really creates a bad "flagpole" effect. Couldn't a well fitted pinblock *and* good, hard maple plate bushings make an even better arrangement than simply one or the other? What's your and any others opinion on that, please?
