Steinway M Backcheck ProblemThanks Jon, good info, I'll check the angle and measure the arc against the hammers I arc myself. I also brushed the buckskin. They are soft and like new, but I will try and rough them up a little with some sandpaper to see if that helps any.

Do you think they should be a little flatter? The back check angle should be 68 to 72 degrees measured at the face of the buckskin. The arc should be 2.5" to 3". Being only 10 y/o, the buckskin should not be dried out. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
