Length of Sharps

[Paul Chick]

A set of keys from a 1942 Steinway L arrived in the shop for new whites and
sharps.  All the original tops are GONE!...that includes the sharps.  What I
can find to measure is 3 ½”.  I checked on a 1969 Steinway M and they
measure 3 5/8”.  Ebony sharps from the vendors measure 3 ¾”.  Steinway  &
Sons were not helpful.  Does anyone have an early 1940’s L handy to measure
them for me?  My concern is the distance between the back of the sharp to
the fall board.  All I have is the keys
.Please!!

Thank you to all.

BTW. Thank you for your responses to my pin block question.  I’ll take the
advice(s) to the piano and determine the best approach, then report back to
you.
