Action Parts

[Lance Lafargue]

Replying personally would be fine.  I understand Wally Brokks also has nice
whippens available and I'm just trying to pick everyone's brain. Thanks.

Subject: Action Parts


Hello list,
I was hoping to revisit a subject often talked about.  Since a few new
parts/brands are available now (such as Abel shanks/flanges from Brooks), I
was hoping to get updated opinions.
I am replacing actions in Steinways, Masons, and Chickerings.  Several
coming up.  I use Renner and like the parts, tech support, and ease of
voicing the hammers.  I also like the Abel Encore hammers from Wally Brooks
and appreciate all the help that he is.  I usually don't use NY Steinway
parts because of the relative difficulty to voice the hammers and the
touchweight problems that I have experienced in the past.
Again, I was just hoping for an updated opinion before ordering.

Thanks
