---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Thanks to all who replied. I just may try the longer pins in that area since I'm going to replace the strings anyway. Doesnt seem like that much more work if it diminishes the problem. I'ts always nice to know if someone else has seen a problem when a person is rather new at the piano business.

My fix would be to pull the tuning pins in that area and install longer ones; put new strings on and leave the pin higher so that the angle would not be as steep. This, of course, would give the pin more "flag poling" feel, but, at least, the darned strings wouldn't be in a bind at the coils. There are many other "height impaired" pianos that have the same problem....Wurlitzers come to mind. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
