OK folks,<br>
I finally have some pics that might prove helpful. I may have to do multiple<br>
emails though so it passes through the filters in a timely fashion. Here's<br>
the first showing direct manipulation of the wippen. Note where the drop<br>
screw contacts the leather. The jack tip is contacting the hammer flange in<br>
between the hammer shank ears.<br>
<br>
More to follow.<br>

<br>
(ahem), Steinway offers a variety of parts,and there have been stock
parts <br>
sent me that certainly did not fit. The jack/hammerflange contact is not <br>
unheard of. Your problem is more likely in the rails than the parts.
If<br>
the <br>
hammerflange rail is just slightly rotated, there is interference. The
pin<br>
to pin <br>
distance may be correct, but the flange will be out of place. Ususally
when<br>
<br>
this happens, the drop screws are turned all the way up. If no new parts<br>
are <br>
available, you can often stop the problem by removing the proximal half of<br>
the <br>
jack, near the top. <br>
