Doesn't stay in tune. This is not one I tune for there are = two of us and this is a rehearsal stage piano. My colleague asked me to = have a go at it while he stood by. It seems it was tuned just yesterday = and already the top two breaks were in trouble and the effect was = creeping down into the middle break - unisons weren't unison. Yuk! So I = inspected it and found there is quite a lot of Joe G's "flag-poling" = going on. Of course you recognise the model (it also has MII stencilled = on the web beside the CA-40). My gut feeling is there is too much "give" = in those wrest-pin bushings. I was just wondering whether a good old = dose of CA might not be in order...it might just harden those = bushings...What do you think? Over to you! >From a sunny Sussex evening in the Downland Village. The Elm trees at = the bottom of my garden have Dutch Elm Disease and tomorrow they're all = being cut down.
