Dear list;
    If any of you have any input/observations/etc with the following I'd appreciate it- you can respond to the list or to me at s.kabat@csuohio.edu. Thanks much.        
    I've been asked to do some work on a 1913 Steinway L- the pin torque is marginal and since this is a consignment -type situation the institution offering the piano doesnt have money for what I think should be at least oversize pins/restringing or block replacement.  What I'm suggesting is to pound the pins  and do necessary action work with the understanding that the work involved is a stopgap measure- more extensive block/restringing type work, perhaps total rebuilding, might be a recommendation a few years down the road. We all like to cover our butts, don't we?
I'd appreciate any comments as to the viability of this option or whether I should tell them to leave the instrument as is and let the buyer beware, or recommend real restringing.  Thanks much, all.
Steve Kabat
