<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">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!!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you to all.</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.</p>
