<DIV>I never had any trouble with Tokiwa parts --they always seemed like a very
decent replacement for Steinway parts, especially the grand hammer shanks with
flanges. The cutout in the Tokiwa hammer flange is a bit larger than
that of the original, making the flange position easier to adjust. Hammer
alignment is therefore a breeze.</DIV>
