Steinway squeak

[J W Stein]

Steinways do make a model K   actually K - 52.   They are the full size uprights...next closest model is 1098.   The newer model K's took the place of the older big upright, that had the double dampers in last 3 or 4 notes of treble, next to bass and treble break.

Also, Model K lids fold over, thus, negating the need for wedge to hold lid up.

    Hey Now,

    All the squeak diagnostic advice was interesting and informative...thanks to all. Pardon my ignorance but I never heard of a Steinway K.  I 've always had trouble determining the model of these Steinways, well except the newer ones.

    Steve,
        The model designations of Steinway uprights is not always stamped with the serial #.
        Call Margaret @ S and Sons in customer service .1-800-366-1853.
        Give her the ser. # and she will give info on model, date of manufacture, orig finish and often the name and address of the first buyer or dealer .
