list - i recently tuned a baldwin 9' grand where several notes in the 1st
capo range were really out of tune.  on this piano, each note has one little
duplex "bar" in front of the hitchpin, and right in the killer octave these
"bars" were wildly out of position, like, they were an very odd angles to
the strings instead of perpendicular to each string.  now, this could only
happen during restringing, since they can't really be moved under full
string tension.  has anybody seen anything like this?  would this cause
extreme tuning instability?  why would they be at an angle to the string?
the rest of the piano has the duplex bars aligned perpendicular to the
strings.
best,
jeremy
