Once an owner of a music school who tuned his owned
pianos for his school cleaned up some tuning pins
with an oil product.
Worked real well. They were the most loose tuning pins
I've seen to date, Raise up a semitone and let go,
down she goes a semitone all on her own, just like a
teeter-totter. Time to build a piano launcher.
Destroyed. Do not contaminate the block with anything.
Seriously now. Working the pin back and forth a great
deal will ease it up somewhat, but perhaps weaken some
string friction points. Not worth the effort and risk.
Sound to me like it is what it is, and it ain't
what it ain't. hmmmm.....I'd better stop before
I get really bad.
One fine day we are going to build that piano
launcher and bring it to Fort Henry to bury
it in a watery grave.
Cheers
Dave Renaud
