I did exactly the same thing on a Steinway M used as a concert instrument at a church, mostly for vocal accompaniment, the pins were not only tight but jumpy as well, The lower torque did not cure the jumpiness bit it made it a lot easier to deal with. Only took me about 8 hours plus one follow up tuning. It has held nicely since last summer and is still easy to tune, no recidivism... -- Dave ----------------------------- Dave Doremus RPT New Orleans algiers_piano@bellsouth.net ------------------------------
