I'll have to check on the specifics. Tho I believe the assembly was in
the piano for the proceedure. Just where and how they thin to get the
desired results, he didnt have time to go into, tho I will see if I can
find this out. Kevin Gouldman is an American builder in Danmark and
knows Uddo Steingręber fairly well, and I believe he knows very much
about how the Steingręber factory does this... so I'll ask him as soon
as I can get to it.

Cheers
