They are only about $90.00/ set, and I use the "offical" Steinway Backcheck Installation Tool. It is listed in their parts catalog. I have not analyzed this new part, and obviously never even got around to weighing them because I just presumed the new ones were lighter (thanks Ken). Anyway, a fraction of a gram taken or added to this location is not really significant to the touchweight. All I can say is that I've done it both ways, this is what I perfer, and I've had no problems. I also know that I am not the only one. If someone has a good geometric argument for leaving the old ones, I'd love to hear it. Dennis Johnson djohn@skypoint.com johnsond@stolaf.edu
