Yamaha C3

[John M. Formsma]

Ajay,

IN addition to Ed's suggestion, you might check the bridge pins to see
if they're a bit loose. I service a 1981 C3 with the symptom you
describe. It's in an environment with huge humidity swings every season
which would cause loose pins.

Also, there's a lot of capo noise in this same piano. Combined with the
loose pins, it makes aural tuning a chore. But, if you can tune through
the falseness, it turns out OK considering.
