This is helpful info on the Steinways. Thanks.

I've run into several (newish) Steinway uprights that had many spoons engaging the damper levers immediately (Not at the third to half key dip spec), causing plenty of leakage and a very heavy touch. Also check the damper head orientation to the strings. Not much quality control at the factory and dealership for some of these super pricey verticals (plus you've had 23 years of "settling in").
