[pianotech] Steinway back checks

[David Love]

The height is determined by the height of the tip of the tail of the hammer at let-off. The tip of the tail should be roughly even with the top of the backcheck at the point of let-off. Some prefer it 1-2 mm higher. I won't split hairs.

..... and the proper height is determined by ....... ??


I have long done something very similar to what David does. It does not
take long, and it is not hard to do at all. There is another added
advantage in that you can change the height of the back check to customize
it to the hammers. Having the back checks at the right height for the
individual piano will improve the checking.
