Subject: Time: 7:16 PM OFFICE MEMO Re Backchecks Date: 2/15/96 --------------ORIGINAL POST-------------- .And I say its easier, quicker and affordable to just replace the whole backcheck. You can redrill the holes to the precise depth necessary, drive 'em in to proper height, regulate, and your done. I like the new lighter weight design anyway. To remove the old ones, I heat up the wire and pull it right out. Dennis Johnson St. Olaf College johnsond@stolaf.edu djohn@skypoint.com ------------------REPLY----------------- I weighed some old style checks (Steinway) and the new style. All were new checks, not worn at all. The new style is slightly (a fraction of a gram as I recall) heavier than the old. I guess the extra wire in ther new makes up for the reduced amount of wood.
