Samick (again)

Roger,

   For a temporary solution, I just used Protek. It freed the really bad
ones from not even a half swing to app. 3-4 swings, so at least the notes
are working OK for now.
   The customer has her house up for sale and will be moving in the near
future. At that time we're going to discuss bringing the piano in and me
(probably) repinning the action if the center pins show any signs of
deterioration (thanks Susan). If not, I'll probably use the alcohol/water
shrinking solution.
   I haven't noticed any damper sluggishness problems yet but a lot of the
jacks seem a little too tight, even though they work OK. For the moment,
at least. I haven't yet taken a wippen off to check them.
   The piano was never prepped and it needs a good going over. Especially
on the regulation, so maybe all that can be done at one time.
   Thanks.

Regards,
Avery
