Type B would best describe that piano, Ken. Likely because the last person
didn't have a tuning tip that was thin as paper, either. Makes it tough to
do any real setting, 'cause the neighbor pin is "not at rest", and the
pressure bar is almost touching the lower edge, etc. etc. As soon as the
pin is relieved of the friction against these other non-block surfaces,
away it goes!
