Now wait just a second here, David, how in the world will a damp chaser =
affect the tightness of the tuning pins on a GRAND piano?  Inquiring =
minds would like to know.

  First things first.  Stabilize the environment with a DC system, if =
not already.  If you install one. let the piano sit for 6 weeks before =
tuning it.   Make sure the piano is not sitting over a heater vent.  =
Make sure that perimeter and nose bolts are tight.  Check the bridges =
for loose pins or cracked bridge.  Than analyze the tuning pins as you =
tune it.  Tune the piano and schedule a follow up in 6-8 weeks to see =
what's happening.

    Greetings,=20

                I have a lady I am going to see Monday who has a Kawaii =
grand that she claims will not hold a tuning. I never doped a pinblock =
before. If upon inspection the pins are loose, should I dope. Is this an =
unwise move?=20

                 I hear  that doping only lasts for one tuning and then =
the obvious is inevitable, which I hear is a re-pin job. How loose must =
pins be to sanction a re-pinning?

    Thanx,
    Julie=20
