IMHO, turning the front rail pins is a BS repair on a piano like this - =
even temporarily. Tell them the solution is to replace the bushings and =
let them decide the next step.

If you turn them and the next player sits down and feels the excessive =
friction immediately, and a year later feels the excessive play in the =
key, it will be you that is labeled the perpetrator of this hack repair =
job.
