Hi List,
First l want to introduce myself. Wim Vermeyen, certified tuner and
repairer. l live and work in Belgium. l got a client who owns a
Broadwood Boudoir grand. The tuning pin's have come loose and it wont
stay in tune anymore. The only thing that can be done is restringing.
So far so good; BUT... these types of grand piano's have got pin's
screwed into the iron plate. A colleague of me once said to watch out
for
this cuz it's a bit tricky .
*Have some of you experience with old Broadwood grands??
*What is the correct way to get the job done in a DECENT way??
*Is it possible to enlarge the holes in the plate so it can be
restringed like any other grand???
Thanks in advance,

Wim Vermeyen
