The new thing to me is to order shanks without the knuckles glued in (at Renner's) , and answering them when they ask me why, "because I want them better aligned" shame and scandal in the factory, I corrected my answer soon ! Indeed gluing is not that long, and choosing a knuckle model is interesting (Abel, Yamaha, Renner ?) Without the rollers, it I easier to align the centers also. To obtain the shanks I had to wait for a new batch made, as the rollers are glued immediately in the factory. Best Regards. Isaac OLEG Isaac OLEG Entretien et reparation de pianos.
