Yamaha Model Question;too tight pins

[gordon stelter]

Peace, Benny,
     I had no intention of mentioning you in any way,
or by reference whatsoever. I wouldn't do that!
     And I don't need to, considering all the
complaints I've heard from other tuners, on and off
the list, about overly tight pins on these pianos.
     Rest easily, please!
     Gordon

P.S. Besides: It is in Yamaha's best interest to know
this, as they'd like to keep selling these pianos, I
am sure.
