This, of course, caused many string to break, and the tuning = wouldn't hold.=20 On the advice of Paul Manichino, I replaced the hammers with Renners. = Paul admitted that the green monsters were horrible and should never = have been put on these pianos. The second recommendation he made for = tuning stability was to check the pin block to flange fit. Sure enough, = there was a gap big enough to slide a business card very easily all the = way from the bass to the treble. I solved that problem by lowering the = tension, and inserting maple shims between the block and the flanges. = After several tunings the piano was stable, and with the new hammers, it = sang.=20 Wim=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
