     Del and list,
        I was called in to evaluate a new S&S L last year . This piano had
very tight centers and I was advised not to ream by this  steinway dealers
head tech . He told me they would get very loose as the piano played in.
    The piano was purchased and is receiving service from the dealer as per
the usual arrangement. I eventually will be servicing this piano,and I'm
wondering if these parts have been treated like the renner's or are they
possibly made by Renner.   Thanks, Tom Driscoll
