Don't really consider myself a beginner, yet the funky old spinet with the weird pins yesterday responded well to a light tap as a setting technique! This was one of those where the pressure bar and neighbor pins made it tough to really get a grip on the bottom row, and certain setting techniques interfered with other pins. Frustrating. But,(and time will tell), on a few of those puppies I eased my lever off without messing up the neighbor, and just gave a very light tap to the end of the pin. Set right down. Cool. Way cool. Thanks, Way thanks. Guy
