[pianotech] Fw: Fw: Fw: Steinway duplex scale

[David Love]

Got one in the shop right now getting a new soundboard.  You either leave
them alone or grind them off and install small diameter brass half rounds
that you can shove back up against the hitch pins or grind them off and
install vertical hitches.
