New Wessel, Knickel & Gross plate suspension system

[Will Truitt]

Ditto:

 

I got a sample one of these at the NEECSO Seminar in late April in Nashua
from Kirk.  It is a sweet looking system.  And a top nut that is gaw-jus.
And I think it would work well with plate boss holes that are oversized and
oblongated, although we never see that in Steinways.  It does have a wood
thread in the base too.

  Bellyheads
   The W.N.G. folks. Bruce Clark/Kirk Burgett have produced a nice solid
adjustable plate support system  for 9 bucks apiece.  It has a 5/16th or so
hex head in the top.  More beef to turn it with. Ron N......Look...a
beautiful top nut.  I surmise that it will be far easier to deal with when
installing. Well providing the holes line up thru the plate bosses. But it
sit in the head & it is a very substantial system. I believe it is used in
all New M&H's. Ok it's more money but it's elegant & beefy and perhaps a bit
easier to use. Comes in two lengths. Looks like 2 to 3 1/2 inches. And the
head of the bolt is thinner than some & may require less soundboard hole
relief. Comes with a nice Nickel plate flat washer.
  Very Nice.
