Steinway M Backcheck ProblemAl, Have you double-checked (ha-ha) the backcheck height?? I'd guess your problem would lie in height or angle, given the age of the parts. I wouldn't concern myself where the bend is to establish the angle as long as the angle is correct. I also would caution against roughing the checks any more. If they are soft and like new, they don't need it. Another possibility: have you tried setting checking in the piano first, on a few samples? Is it possible your bench set-up is enough different than your piano that it is unreliable? Good luck, William R. Monroe Subject: Re: Steinway M Backcheck Problem Thanks 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.
