Hi List,
Last week I came upon a piano, that was the hardest, I have ever had to tune. (Started in '75) (No. not the tuning of this piano. I thought I would beat the smarties to that one. :-))
It was the same brand as the next hardest one, I tune.
It was a Steinway upright, furniture model, has a 40 stencilled on the block.
It had been restrung, with new pins. The strings were imbedded in the felt strip between the pin and the pressure bar. I think that was the main problem.
Is everyone SURE, that putting Protek on the different bearing points to get better rendering, and easier tuning, won't migrate to the tuning pins and cause a problem?
Regards,
