---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I tuned a Baldwin H grand the other day with a similar problem. The piano hadn't been tuned for years, and was 30-50 cents flat. I wasn't having a problem with getting the string to move(solved pretty nicely by Protek, in my experience), but I was having a hard time moving the string to stay where it was supposed to in many cases. I'd get close, then "pop!" It would move up above or below pitch. I suspect that the strings have small indentations, nicks, or bends in all the wrong places as a result of being so far flat. Could this be the case with your Schimmel? Did it require a significant pitch raise?
