Hi all, I tuned a 1900 Kroeger "Upright Grand" [giggle] today. Very loose = tuning pins. Tried tapping to see if that had any effect. Helped on a = couple. Then - Ooops, where'd you go? I tapped one in and it sunk = nearly to the winding on the pin. And, the string required probably a = full turn or more to bring it back up to pitch (this was in the tenor). = Again, many loose pins in this "instrument", and am curious what you all = would think the culprit is. Also, if it were a cracked pinblock, how = would you know for certain? Thanks, William R.
