[CAUT] Comparisons

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi David,
I was not aware of that.
Well something has changed in the upright pinblock. The newer ones are more
like ordinary pianos. Grands seem to be the same old Yamaha. Different
department to be sure <G>
With that said , tuned a 50 year old Baldwin upright 52"er that felt so nice
to tune. Real easy and ratchet feel on the pins of less than a cent on most
pins both up and down in pitch.
