[pianotech] Repin problems

[Owen Greyling]

David,

Might I suggest that before you remove five pins that are marginally to
tight, that you lower the pitch a quarter turn and then just be a bit
aggressive, moving the pin alternately back and forth. Then bring back to
pitch and try and fine tune. You may be pleasantly surprised!

Yes, I know what you hate!!!!!!,

Have just finished a re-pin on a Kawai KG-1 grand. All went to plan with the
exception of about five random pins that are cracking. This is most annoying
as I was meticulous with my reaming process and the feel on the majority of
pins is even and firm.

I make a habit of chalking each pin prior to hammering them in, so I am
really at a loss as to why these few pins are giving trouble.

This piano was water damaged in the area of the bass plank, however the
faulty pins are from the centre section up to the treble.

No alternative but to remove them I guess and try again. 

Do you know what I hate!!!!!!!
