Since we were still well into the high humidity season I suggested the cleaning wait until the winter tuning and just tuned it at that appointment.

I remember in 1978, I had some problems with an action rail and a Steinway technical rep told me just to use larger screws. Since I was just beginning at that time I did not question this answer, but every time I tune this piano, I whish I would have known better when I was a beginner. Just have a carefull look at the action rails before you commit to an estimate of repairs.Marcel Carey, RPTSherbrooke, QC _________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
