    FULL SET OF 88 VINTAGE STEINWAY GRAND PIANO WIPPENS. Condition is Used.
    These wippens or repetitions came from a 1925 Steinway model A-III. They will fit any model or size of Steinway grand piano made from about 1885 until the present day.
    As on many old Steinways, some of them have "verdigris" - a pasty green deposit which slows the repetition; but all action centers on these 88 wippens have have just been treated with Fomblin, a new lubricant which fixes the problem for a long time.  Otherwise they are in excellent condition.
    Steinway pianos have been the premier piano of the world for over 150 years, found on most of the world's concert hall stages.
    The wippen or repetition is the engine of the piano; it allows for the delicate control of the mechanism by the pianist.  These wippens are specially designed to fit only Steinway pianos.  A set of new wippens from Steinway costs over ,000.
