Piano Warrenty/False Beats

Hi Jim,

Maybe Boston or Steinway or whoever wouldn't pay for the bridge recapping
for "false beats".  But would they for "loose bridge pins"?  I wouldn't
think even Steinway would have the ball bearings to say loose bridge pins
are a 'design feature'. <grin>

Hey, I'm just asking? :-)  Could some of it be in the 'presentation'?

<wish I could convey the bit of sarcasm with the printed word...>

Seriously, just driving in the pins seems like it might be a temporary fix
at best.  You're not really making the hole any smaller or the pin any
bigger by driving it farther in.  Now, the CA or epoxy would make a
difference that way.

FWIW...  (written in somewhat playful spirit... hope it's received that way
too...)
