Hi, all. Ran into a situation last night and wanted your feedback on what would have been the best way to deal with it. Tuning for professional play; they were using an old Baldwin Acrosonic because it had "the right look"; 50 cents low in pitch. Had one hour to get in shape during the crew's dinner break. Bass hammers up towards the break hitting LH string of next note; causing two notes to sound when damper pedal was being used. They told me about this when I arrived (although they described it as two keys sticking down together -- everything is a sticky key or a tuning problem, I guess...). 5 or 6 notes in a row doing this in the bass (obviously just 2 strings per note here). Also had two badly bouncing / double striking hammers in this same virused section. Comments, help, suggestions...? I was able to get it up and running as good as possible before their curtain, but I will be faced with this instrument again in a couple of days and there is always a better way... Thanks! Dianne
