Greetings,
1917 Steinway model A grand piano. The repetitions (AKA wippens) have assist springs on their flanges (see attached image).
If someone retrofitted them, they did a factory-quality install, yet did so on reps that are old enough to not have regulating screws in the jacks. (We are planning on replacement with WNG parts, withOUT assist springs.)
I have never seen assist springs on Steinway repetitions as original configuration. Has anyone else?
Thanks,
Alan
