Greetings, Three years ago, I had a hitch pin begin to give way in the plate of a rather expen$ive grand. It seems that there was a pocket of something other than cast iron at the particular spot (Eb55). It was under warranty. Factory recommendation was to install a larger pin, which I did while accompanied by the dealer's technician. Now, I get a call that the note is once again totally whacked out and I fear that the pin is once again beginning to lean into the string's pull. I think the ultimate solution would be to drill a new hole perhaps an inch farther distally and just avoid the area. Anybody else deal with something like this? First time in 35 years I have encountered the situation. Thanks, Ed Foote RPT http://www.piano-tuners.org/edfoote/index.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
