Shank Lengths for Steinway L

[Mark Davidson]

Checked lengths on my (factory) L.  Measured from center to end 
of shank and subtracted 3.8 mm to approximate half the 
molding thickness (since some moldings are angled, then
sanded down on the checked side it was hard to figure where
the "center" of the molding is).  Looks like a very slight
decreasing tendency, if you use your imagination.
