[CAUT] Fwd: S&S M Strike point

[Dale Erwin]

Hi Bob
 Unless you are planning on moving the action stack for a really good reason or changing the standard placement of the hammer at 5 1/8th inch from the hammer flange center pin,you will have whatever strike point was given you. In one sense, and practically speaking,the " number" is irrelevant.  Know what I mean?
  The no. 1 bass  string is long enough that the strike point could fall anywhere between a 1/2 inch tolerance with out any change in the tone.

That would be fine.  I already know about shank length, bore distance, the line from 72 to 88 etc.... I just want to know what the spec is on intended strike point on string #1.

I have an old document from Steinway with that strike point info, but I won't be near that piece of paper until early January, if you can wait...
