<< I just don't want to have ANY flanges come loose after new damper felt and regulation work is done. Piano in question is a Steinway M getting all new action parts (except back action), damper felt, block and restring. >> Greetings, Is all the pinning in fine shape, and will it stay that way for another generation or two? Are the sostenuto flanges in condition to last as long as the rest of the new action? Are the springs in perfect condition and durable? Is the job worth replacing the back action as well? Why leave an old, questionable back action in a piano with everything else replaced?
