    Greetings,

    IWill soon be traveling several hundred miles to service a ca. 1965 Hamburg Steinway "B". Given the service history of this instrument, key pin contact points (the front and balance rail bushings and the balance pin holes) will likely need resuscitation. Wanting to arrive prepared with some VS Profelt and appropriate size key bushing cauls, I wonder if anyone can tell me what size key pins I should expect to find on that make/model/year.

    Thanks,

    Alan
