Specifically: Where does the flatness go? (Flames were thrown willy-nilly at that time...) Does anyone reaaaaaaallllllllllly believe that tuning pins don't turn backwards over time?

The owners mother bought it new and she has the original receipt for $600. She says she knows for a fact that it has never been tuned. Well, heck, Terry, I've tuned an upright to pitch where the owner knew for a fact it was last tuned in 1938. She was 85, and had owned it since before then. My first private job for money involved raising the pitch of an old upright a perfect fourth ... nothing broke. I did it a semitone at a time. That Wurly will think it's been sent back to the factory, or something. <grin> Susan ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
