Who knows what has been done to the pinblock on this POS, but every single tuning pin up to the mid-treble are horribly jumpy - I mean the finest increment to change pitch is ten to 20 cents - most moves are more like 30 to 50 cents. It is virtually untunable. I left most unisons beating maybe an average a good 1 bps. I've never encountered a piano like this. Is there any easy thing to do to make it smoother - even moderately tunable? The piano is a bit of a heap and is not worth dumping much money into..... And yes, we talked about replacement. ;-) Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
