  Hello List
  From Sussex where we have a problem with one of our pianos at =
Glyndebourne. 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?
  Also just tuned down a Yam C-3 to A=3D415 at Vallotti temperament. I =
used my "Quadrant System" to do this, but since I was taking the piano =
down in pitch I started of at A=3D411 and went on from there. Finished =
in two passes including setting the temperament to Vallotti
  Over to you!
  Michael G.(UK)
