Steinway Action Rail
Replacement Service

Why replace the Rails

1. When they are split (see below)

2. When rebuilding the action, even if the rails do not seem to be cracked, they will probably be riddled with minute fissures known as metal fatigue, especially if they are of the older type which have thinner brass casing than the new rails.
3. If the customer complains of a lack in the dynamic range & new hammers have been fitted, yet the rails are of the older type,
then rails will probably be riddled with metal fatigue.
This means that the energy will be lost in the rails, instead of being transferred via the hammerhead to the string.  
Replacing the rails will restore the dynamic and tonal range
 

All rails are supplied by Steinway either predrilled or blank
Predrilled rails are suitable for most Hamburg built grand's
Blank rails are used for early grand's, New York built grand's and K uprights.
