    Hi, all. 

    I am trying to find regulating specs for Boston vertical pianos. They are marketed as a Steinway product, but we know what they really are. 

    We have 20 UP118 and 7 UP126 verticals. All are inconsistent with regard to regulation. It would be nice to have a starting point that I can reference when cycling through regulation instead of having to start from scratch on every single one. I can't find any published. 

    K and SS don't overlap with the specs. They don't even use the same references. 

    Any help? TIA

    Dave

    Maybe there are specs in the Steinway World Wide Reference and some other resources I have. I will try to find some of these and post later. There are some generic specs for uprights for hammer blow, letoff, backchecking etc but you will have to tweak your actions depending on the mileage on the pianos

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I contacted SS but haven't yet gotten a response.
