Just to clarify, the piano was not up to pitch and in fact was wildly out. But, I think it has been sitting in an abandoned farmhouse for years. Someone just offered my customer the piano for free, and she wanted to know whether it was worth her while to bring it home...would it play. So I've been biting my nails over that plate crack a bit--thanks for the ideas everyone! Bryn Latta Have you put a tuning hammer to the tuning pins to check the tightness of the pins? The thought of removing a piano from an abandoned farmhouse and putting it in someones living room or better yet dinning room is disgusting. As most have shared (this crack) may be the least of your concern. Removing keys and the action and all dirt under the keys as well as blowing out the action is a must. The very least this piano needs is reconditioning after a good cleaning. I trust you are aware of all this, I simply had to jump in and add my two cents.
