Pros & Cons... David Ilvedson David I've used at least a dozen or more sets of shanks and they are a fine product. They are geometrically correct for Steinway & also Masons with and 18 mm knuckle placement. Their original Mason parts had the screw hole too deep & the screw holes had to be drilled deeper in the rail, gnash, SO I complained, I mean I gave incredibly valuable & professional feedback (Grin) & Wally had them changed. All teh shanks in the sets are thinned the same amount top to bottom & the only place that might be a problem is in shank flex in a FFF concert situation or with heavy hammerweights. It's a plus if youre' trying to reduce strike weights I've had only one set with any pinning friction problems & protek seems to have remedied this. I see the add for the new Abel stwy whippens. I'm curious to know of anyone that have tried these? The proto types of several yrs ago were not refined enough so if Wally says there good now then they probably are.
