---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Last night I tuned a Wurlitzer spinet. The right pedal wasn't working, so I took off the bottom board, and attached the rod. But I discovered something interesting. Hanging by a piece of thread from one of the stickers was a hugh washer, about 1 1/2" in diameter. Naturally I took it off, and I found out that the reason the weight was on the sticker was to make the key work. Without the washer, the key stuck. So I lifted the key, and saw that the problem was that the front bushing was folded over, creating lots of friction on the key. It took only a couple of seconds to correct the problem. I don't know if the washer was attached by a very incompetent piano tuner, or by some ingenious customer. Lets hope it was the latter, but knowing some of the technicians in this part of the country, it was probably the former.
