They are lighter than the Renner type by 2 to 3 grams & they seem to be an exact copy of the old style wippen which I like. I'm not thrilled of late with the amount of traveling I've found necessary & on a most recent set , returned them with complaint to Kent webb. Overal though I like the parts. The Renner Usa part is now IMO a good part since they changed the angle of the jack to match that of the original. The Hamburg style is for use with 17mm parts. The N.Y. parts will work best with 16 & 16.5mm parts. JMO. Dale i folks, Argh. Well, the customer has decided that the piano needs Genuine Steinway parts--positive proof that the marketing works. :-) I called Steinway Parts department, who doesn't sell samples, called and left a message with Tech Services to call me back, and will ask here, too. I really prefer the Hamburg style (Renner) wippen. But looking at the drawings of the "repetitions" (which don't include the heel) in the Technical Reference Guide (from 1992--is there a new one?), The current NY ones look shorter compared to the Hamburg Style. The question is, will or how much will the style of wippen affect things--like touchweight, or is it mostly the knuckle to center pin distance? Is there more than one size regulating button? I can't seem to find them in my *old* price list. Man, I'm ready to go on this project and I hate waiting around!!!!! Thanks.
