Thanks Joe, I think I will order a pair of the "deluxe cheek-plates" (Hamburg Steinway) that Fred recommended, though cannot find replacement "key-frame shift-pins" (had to dig out the "Merle Mason" for that one)in the Pianotek catalog. The "key-frame, shift-pin, guide-plates" (S&S nomenclature) in this piano are brass, however, the pins themselves were/are not plated,.. and they worked so nicely for the longest time! Would be happy using the Yamaha system also, but for the ordering rigama-what-ever. best regards, Mark PS Sorry to hear about Tom's snowfall (below),.. have already played my dozen'th round of golf here in sunny Manitoba! ;>) The snowfall we had this morning makes it hard to believe it's spring. But we remain hopeful! - Tom McNeil - Vermont Piano Restorations
