Shank Lengths for Steinway L

[Isaac OLEG]

I remember "official" length to be 130 mm as seen on factory drawings.

Where do this data come from ?

In the real life it can be seen from 129 to 131, and some old plates
have misplacement of the strike line in treble, can be seen if
analyzing the scale and strike point.

Some bass hammers are also glued at less than 90?.
