Hey Fred, Read this in your post... just wondering if there are any touchweight specs in that manual... I'm looking for specific up/downs for specific sections.. I remember seeing this long ago in a Steinway Manual but haven't been able to track down a copy..... By the way if your going to be at MARC or in Grand Rapids I'd be very interested in your comments as a pianist playing my variable ratio action which will be displayed at both venues... Ratio range of from 5.2 - 6.2 is achieved. The pianist adjusts knobs behind the keyslip bass and treble to change ratio. One full turn on the knob is 0.2 ratios. Best, David Stanwood > I recently ran across an old Steinway service manual, >apparently from the 50s and 60s (it has no date), wherein the >voicing instructions note that the hammers are deep needled in the >shoulders in the factory, hence the technician won't need to do much >there (and warning against over-needling). Not a peep about >hardeners.
