This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey Dale Erwin (and all), Long time ago we were talking about moving/replacing knuckles. I'm = ready--um.... well, I have a friend who has all the equipment, anyway. = ;-) =20 So, I'm ready to order knuckles. One time you recommended the ones by = Tokiwa. I looked in the Pianotek catalog and saw that the Tokiwa = knuckles only come in 10mm diameter. I guess you wouldn't use them if = it was a problem, but have you ever run into a case where that size just = won't work regulation wise? =20 I have a couple sets of shanks and flanges downstairs and I haven't = measured their width yet, so maybe I'm jumping the gun. Perhaps I = should just wait until I have the pianos in hand and can test different = shanks & knuckles. I also had a private e-mail from someone who said he doesn't like 17 mm = knuckle distance, but prefers 16.5. After using the 17 mm knuckle = distance on the Big, dead hall D and having to set the key dip pretty = deep (but no complaints from pianists), I am wondering if 16.5 mm = distance and a bigger knuckle (or not) would be better than 17 mm. =20 The pianos that will probably get these sets of shanks and flanges are = 1920s (or give or take a few years) Steinways. One B and the other an = L. I'd like to just have these sets ready and waiting for convenience = sake and also, because my friend with the equipment is available now. =20 What would you do?
