This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I recently inspected a Steinway O that had been "rebuilt" a couple of = years ago in another state. The wire protrudes through the pins about = !/8"+, pins lean back at 8 degrees (guessing) and the wire spirals down = the pin, some with 4-5 turns, to end at pretty much plate level. If the = coils were tight the pins would be a good 1/4" too high. My problem; the = coil lifting tools I possess are difficult to impossible to get in = position with access limited by adjacent pins (when I restring I tighten = coils as I go and put on enough tension to keep them in place). Does = anyone know if there a tool available that would make this easier or = have any ideas on how to efficiently tighten these coils and tap the = pins down to make piano tunable? (The pins that I tried are almost too = loose so I'm not worried about ending up too torqued). This is only the = beginning of problems with this piano (example-I couldn't get the action = out because the hammer flange screws were jammed into the lowered = pinblock) but if any one has any suggestions on improving the coil = situation I would appreciate your input.
