Length of Sharps

[Paul T Williams]

We have a '32 L and the sharps are 3 5/8  and also a '24 L with 3 5/8" as 
well.  Sorry, nothing from the 40's around here!

Length of Sharps






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.
