Sorry to be a few hours behind this...but Hamburg does rebuilds. the whole lot. new boards, pin block, refinishing.. A colleague of mine has seen the rebuilding part of the Hamburg factory, and he saw some very good work. Why replace the Steinway action with a Renner ?? (fire suit is definitely on) If you are taking the effort to send the instrument to Germany, why don't you send it to where it originated from. Would you send your BMW to Mercedes for an engine overhaul? Sorry to use this example.do I need another fire suit ??

Their name has poped up as a possiblility for the total re-construction of a Hamburg-Steinway grand. The thought is to ship the piano to Germany. It is my understanding that the piano would be totally reconstructed with a Renner Action, new board, block, totally refinished. All I along with several professional concert artists personally believe all is needed is new hammers and shanks and refinishing. Thank you for your input.
