_____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jurgen Goering Sent: January 23, 2007 10:07 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: NAMM Report Rob, thanks for the interesting report on your trip to the NAMM show. One small item that I would to add a different opinion about is the question of action rail material. I don't think that extruded aluminum action rails are necessarily superior to wooden ones in their various forms, e.g. laminated. Aluminum can have its problems as well, such as stripped flange screw holes, unwanted noise and perhaps other issues. I agree. I have yet to meet the metal rail (of any material and/or configuration) that I like as well as a simple laminated beech or maple rail. The laminated rail is stiffer, quieter, at least as stable and is easily reparable. Del -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
