Steinway Old Action Picture [was Steinway action noise]

[Richard Brekne]

I beg your pardon..  you said simply "lever flange", and packing the 
hammer rail has been mentioned several times along with the whippen.  It 
really is quite easy to get these kind of things crossed up in such a 
forum to begin with John.  You dont need to start getting down on folks 
because of a simple misunderstanding.  Mine here was based on the fact 
that you were compensating for the difference in lengths from the hammer 
flange center to the hamer flange screw hole.... so I figured thats the 
flange you were talking about.  Please excuse...

Sheeesh....

Personally,  I wouldnt move the whippen longer out if it was in the 
proper place to begin with just because the spread is wrong.  If the 
spread is wrong and its because the hammer flange center is in the wrong 
place... then thats the one to correct.

Cheers

        I think you need to read the thread again and pay a bit of
        attention.
        Nobody's taking about the hammer flange.
