Chickoring Square Grand tuning

[John Ross]

Hi Sherry,
Make sure you have the proper tip, it may be an oblong tip, if they
did not put in new pins.
Be prepared for a sore back, as the pins are in the back, and the keys
are in the front.
If it has been rebuilt properly, you should not require, the normal
extra time required to remove and replace the action, numerous times
for the problems that crop up.
Unless you are hungry, :-), it might be better to let someone else do
it.
I found my back was sore for three days after doing them, so that I
don't do them anymore.
Oh, yes, be sure to charge twice your normal rate.
Good luck.
Regards,
