A nice sounding piano Ron, and an exemplary tuning as well. Kudos on both. I was hoping for the bullet magique which would simply replace to defective bars. Now I'm toying with the idea of peeling back the bass strings, replacing the treble wire and installing vertical hitch pins. Lowering the plate a tad would be in order too. the pins will have to come out to remove the plate to unscreew the block to plane the bottom a bit. Oh botheration ! I thought I had this beaten into submission by working over the action.
