Hi Joe It is always possible that something else is going on but I did try my best to survey the situation to the best of my ability. This is an affluent neighborhood with maids and all but the piano didn't look that clean.:) But as I have found, thru years anything is possible. Like the guy I had who removed the plate bolts to have them plated while the piano was strung. P.S. He is not dead Mark There may be something else going on here. Several years ago, I heard of a situation, where the client kept the piano immaculately clean. Each time the tuner came to tune, the pins were looser! Eventually, the piano was untunable. The tuner found out that the client was spraying "Pledge" around the tuning pins to keep it clean!!!!!!!!!! "Pledge" has silicone in it. The piano had to have a new block, at the clients expense. Regards, Joe Garrett
