<div>For reasons that are not entirely clear, I have 88 unused Steinway shanks and flanges from the teflon era. Photo attached.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think I remember reading that some can still use these things.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>If you are interested in making use of them, make an offer.</div>

<div>Amazing what one can find buried in piano tech shops....</div>
