Greetings, << The trapwork hook on the damper lever was turned aside allowing the movers to lose the damper lift dowel. From the Steinway parts list it looks like the correct dimension for this dowel is 1/2 in x 4 in. I will need to make a replacement. Does anyone know if this is correct for this model. It was built in 1936. >> I suggest that this is a perfect excuse to upgrade the pitman configuration. It is what the new Steinways do, and I consider it way superior to the older felt-bushed mode. Ample discussion of various approaches in the archives.
