[CAUT] [pianotech] Gen-u-whine Steinway parts:OT RANT

[McCoy, Alan]

Yes. There is a lot to like about WNG parts. I am just finishing up a complete action install on a 6 1/2' Young Chang that had bad brackets. I'm liking working with the parts - capstans, keypins, S&F, Wips, backchecks. I'm not changing out the backaction on this one though. This is my first time using Ronsen Weikert felt. I think it'll be a winner, even if it is a Young Chang.

Have you considered replacing those heavy, high friction original Steinway capstans with much lighter, slicker, WNG capstans?  you want to offer maximum performance or maximum authenticity?   I don't think we can have both!
