[pianotech] Steinway S and fallboard springs

[Carlos Ralon]

David,
I have isntalled this on over a dozen pianos. Some with high polish 
finishes, and some oldies.  The ones that were removed left no defects. Most 
clients will simply remove the long strip and leave the 2 patches (unseen) 
on the piano when they don't want it seen.  When I learn how to send photos 
by email, Barbara has asked for one for a T & T article. I have one on my 
restored and refinished M&H model A. I buy the Velcro kit with 6' in the box 
from WallMart for $6.95.  This will do approx 12 pianos. Please understand, 
this is not a slow fall, It's a No Fall.
Carlos Ralon, RPT
