<p class=MsoNormal>A set of keys from a 1942 Steinway L arrived in the shop for
new whites and sharps. All the original tops are GONE!...that includes the
sharps. What I can find to measure is 3 ½”. I checked on a 1969
Steinway M and they measure 3 5/8”. Ebony sharps from the vendors
measure 3 ¾”. Steinway & Sons were not helpful. Does anyone have an
early 1940’s L handy to measure them for me? My concern is the distance
between the back of the sharp to the fall board. All I have is the keys….Please!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you to all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>BTW. Thank you for your responses to my pin block question.
I’ll take the advice(s) to the piano and determine the best approach,
then report back to you.<o:p></o:p></p>
