<HTML>Several months ago I inquired about replacing Steinway cheek block screws with wing nuts. LaRoy Edwards showed us one at one of our chapter meetings. But I found out that they are $25 a piece. Last week I tuned an Essex and Boston at the local Steinway dealer. Those pianos had hinged wing nuts. So I asked Steinway, and sure enough, they do have them. According to Kent Webb, they are available for $5 a piece. Order Boston Part number 092.  Kent says you do have to do some retrofitting, as the hole in the cheek block will be a little too big. And depending on how much you want the wing nut to show, you might also want to counter sink where the wing nut protrudes out from under the piano. Wim </HTML>
