I understand why to secure the capstan to hold the action, but what happens or may happen to hammers moving on their sides, keys moving, etc? Does anyone know for sure?

The keys are not. A couple of months ago, however, I did unpack a Steinway that came from Mexico City, and they had put a slat under the keys. At first I thought they had done a very bad job of regulating the action, but then I saw the slat. Wim
