After examining some new K's I've wondered if one could simple but a new style action frame from NY and install the new Renner parts on it. Expensive, but it would make regulating and future service much easier. Also I remain unconvinced of the longevity of the Tokiwa parts - the more of them that I see, the less I like them. >> Greetings, I used Tokiwa parts for several Steinway grands at Vanderbilt back in the mid 1980's and those actions are still in use, still functioning extremely well. There was less pinning problems than the factory parts at the time, and there was much less papering needed to travel and space them when I installed them! Have some things changed??
