[CAUT] Rawson key leveling strips

[McNeilTom at aol.com]

Hi, Richard, and colleagues -
 
The strips would work fine for the Accelerated Action half-round key  
supports were it not for the 'locating strip' that's needed to keep the S&S  
half-rounds from rotating around the balance pin.
 
You'll find the strips are located too low to be slapped by the bottom of  
the keys and too high to slap the keybed.  Since they are already in  contact 
with the keyframe, there's no potential for slap there either - just  like 
traditional paper punchings.
 

Best regards,

 It looks like they won't work on Steinway w/accelerated action.  Also, it 
looks like they could
slap the bottom of the keys, or perhaps the key frame, or perhaps the key  
bed if long enough.
This might cause noise. I've not seen/or tried 'em, so cannot say, but  
looking at the picture it
might be so. I would give them a try, but they are pricey compared to the  
cost of punchings.
If they'd work on Steinways, I'd be more interested.
