Fw: Tight Tuning Pins

[Kevin E. Ramsey]

    I have done this on one Baldwin R which was brand new. The only reason I
did was that the pins were the kind that refused to move at all, and when
they did, they did so with a "snap" that sounded like a string breaking.
Unnerving, to say the least.
    The piano was at a dealership, and I got a chance to tune it again after
about six weeks. Still so tight as to be a struggle.
    I used four or five drops on the one or two tuning pins that needed it
most, and I couldn't remember which pins got it when I tuned it the second
time, so I obviously didn't work "too well".
