Part of Richard Moody's post: >Hmm that makes the parafin culprit less in whippen flanges, and even >less in Jack flanges. >So did Steinway use parafin only in hammer flanges... Richard, List, I don't know the reasons for verdigris in older Steinway action centers. I only know what others have said they are. My primary interest is in relieving the problem when I am called out to service such pianos. So far, I have met with a great deal of success in the particular experiences with which I have been given the latitude to experiment. Keith A.
