<div> Dale:<br> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br> Even after grinding down the plate bosses, I have found few Steinways that would have room for the depth of the head ot that top nut between the plate and soundboard. Or are you enlarging the hole in the soundboard to accept the entire dimension of the nut head in order to turn it down far enough?<br> <br> Paul<br> </font></div> <div> <br> </div> <div> <br> </div> -----Original Message-----<br> From: erwinspiano@aol.com<br> To: pianotech@ptg.org; gravagnegang@worldnet.att.net; davidghughesrpt@comcast.net; st.piano@verizon.net; Bruce.Stevens@verizon.net; david@davidandersenpianos.com<br> Sent: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:00 am<br> Subject: New Wessel, Knickel & Gross plate suspension system<br> <br> <div id="AOLMsgPart_2_e0a7c938-8e78-4bd4-bb15-3442079d5ccf"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left">  Bellyheads<br>    The W.N.G. folks. Bruce Clark/Kirk Burgett have produced a nice solid adjustable plate support system  for 9 bucks apiece.  It has a 5/16th or so hex head in the top.  More beef to turn it with. Ron N......Look...a beautiful top nut.  I surmise that it will be far easier to deal with when installing. Well providing the holes line up thru the plate bosses. But it sit in the head & it is a very substantial system. I believe it is used in all New M&H's. Ok it's more money but it's elegant & beefy and perhaps a bit easier to use. Comes in two lengths. Looks like 2 to 3 1/2 inches. And the head of the bolt is thinner than some & may require less soundboard hole relief. Comes with a nice Nickel plate flat washer.<br>   Very Nice. <br>   Dale Erwin<br> <br> <br> </div> <div><span></span></div> </div> <div><span></span></div> <a style="display: block; width: 285px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoq8CRnh2njIUv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D"><img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP854091" title="" style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 204); margin: 5px; display: block; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoq8CRnh2njIUv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" height="206" width="275"> <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">View full size</div> </a></div> <div><span></span></div> </div> <div><span></span></div> </div> <div><span></span></div> <a style="display: block; width: 285px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItohZOJwM3wjOiv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D"><img class="AOLInlineImage" id="AOLP322127" title="" style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 102, 204); margin: 5px; display: block; vertical-align: middle;" src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItohZOJwM3wjOiv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" height="206" width="275"> <div class="AOLPicturesFullSizeLink" style="margin-top: -6px; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">View full size</div> </a></div> <div><span></span></div> <div id="u8CAA42A8C79F428-BA8-4F49" class="aol_ad_footer"><font style="color: black; font-family: ARIAL,SAN-SERIF; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"><hr style="margin-top: 10px;"><a title="http://toolbar.aol.com/moviefone/download.html?ncid=aolcmp00050000000011" target="_blank" href="http://toolbar.aol.com/moviefone/download.html?ncid=aolcmp00050000000011">Get the Moviefone Toolbar</a>.
