[pianotech] pianotech Digest, Vol 9, Issue 122

Please do not forward all the Digest entries in your reply.

Anyway, just tell him, he has probably contaminated the pinblock, so that it will never hold it's tune.
Had a piano years ago, that had WD 40, applied to rusty pins.
I had to replace the pinblock.

  Did you ask him if the oil had the desired effect?

    Strange but true a man called for me to tune his old upright, he said he tried ,but the pins were so tight he decided to use sewing machine oil to loosen them up! How would you all answer the man?
