This piano most certainly had at least a ten yr. warranty. I had a BB in my school. It was a fabulous piano with no problems. I'd like to think that M&H would have helped you with this instrument. > We have a 1992 Mason and Hamlin A that has had tuning stability problems for at least the last 8 years (since I've been here). It has been assigned to several solid tuners with the same outcome, so it's not that. It has been restrung twice, and the last time I put in a new Nossaman pinblock and made sure that it was installed properly, mated to the flange, horn wedge is in place, yaddah, yaddah. > > The last restringing was 2 years ago, and I still need to tune it about every 3 weeks. The pitch doesn't go up and down, but individual notes just seem to go wild. I can't say that it is the same notes all the time, I don't think it is. All the normal prepping has been done, checked and rechecked. > > Since it was fairly expensive to buy, and since it was a M&H I thought it should be in a classroom where they do masterclasses. After fighting it for nearly a year I put it in a practice room. Even worse results. Now it sits on its side in storage... > > Any thoughts here? I've been told that the tension resonator should not be messed with, but could this be an issue? What am I missing here? > > Thanks in advance. > > Jim Busby RPT > BYU
