By using new wippens, it might very well be possible that the new wippen has a lower or higher saddle, which means that the capstan has to be screwed upwards or downwards. That may change the configuration of everything. If you put the original wippen on the new one, you can see for yourself whether the wippen height is the same or not. The same thing for the wippen flanges : sometimes the new flange is shorter or longer, and that too changes everything. Renner has special kits for this : they supply the customer with wippens with several saddle types. The customer can choose for the right configuration. friendly greetings from André Oorebeek www.concertpianoservice.nl "Where music is no harm can be"
