Steinway action noise

[Greg Newell]

Jurgen,

                Well, I suppose it's possible. Who or where would they have
purchased them from? Has anyone heard of a new supplier?

Mike may be on to something. Parts from China? They are getting to be quite
look-alike these days...

Perhaps the something cheaper was non-Renner and/or non-Steinway
parts!? The assumption made by most on this thread has been since
Steinway hammers were used Renner or Steinway shanks and whippens were
used as well.
Tokiwa and others make a shank and flange in the hexagonal shape as
well. Steinway's whippen has been copied by many.
I'm not there to see for myself and don't have the everyday hands-on
experience many of you do with Renner and Steinway parts. It just
occured to me following the thread and looking at the pics that there
seemed to be a lot of confusion because the parts don't match up to
the Renner parts kit.
Just a thought from a curious, interested bystander,

Mike
