[pianotech] Backcheck

[David Love]

I go back and forth between Tokiwa and Renner.  In some ways I like the
softer Tokiwa wire which seems to make for softer checking.  I think the
Renner covers hold up a bit better but I'm not really sure.  I wish the
Tokiwa covering was a bit more colorfast.

I also have gone to replacing rather than recovering.  David, do you
regularly use Tokiwa backchecks?

Tokiwa makes both styles of backchecks for Steinway.  One of those should
fit easily.  I used to recover backchecks but now opt just to replace.

David,
Thanks for the suggestion.  I had thought to do that initially, but  
came up short when I was unable to find a similar backcheck from the  
supply houses.  Would a different sized backcheck introduce geometry  
problems? The hammers I have set to install have already been bored,  
but neither tapered nor arced.
