Tuning without a click...

[Susan Kline]

Hello, Ed

I'm afraid I can't be much help: I tune one of these, about 4 years old,
and it's the best piano I regularly see. The pins certainly aren't jumpy,
but I can feel them okay, and the rendering is all right.

Has anyone else had Ed's experience with recent M&H BB's?
