<WBR>Martin<br> <br> The Renner back action is a kit that requires you to take measurements, drill all the holes, etc. If you have not attended a class on doing this, it might be very difficult to do.  The Steinway back action comes complete, basically ready to install. This is not an endorsement on one or the other. Just an observation. I have done both, and personally found the Steinway much easier to work with. You, on the other hand, might enjoy the challenge of working with the kit. <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Martin Snow <martinsnowpianos@yahoo.com><br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Fri, 9 May 2008 6:59 am<br> Subject: replacing a back action on a 1909 Steinway B<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_b495575b-ba1a-4f96-9ae7-2e914e1c4f61>Any recommendations , preferences or experience, whether to use the Renner new back action OR Steinway catologue # 006267 ''Underlevers mounted to Frame'' for the continued restoration of a 1909 Steinway B...........thanks......martin <div> <HR SIZE=1> Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
