  Rumor has it that the Steinway piano was originally designed that the =
pin would ride against the plate. =20



Really?!  Does this mean the problem is in my head?  Hmm.  Well, I guess =
it isn't the first time.......  :-)=20

        I always ream out the holes in the plate prior to refinishing =
the plate to clean out the old paint & accumulated goop,rust, or excess =
paint from several spray can jobs. Also I see no reason why the holes on =
& Steinway can't be a bit larger & also a larger hole thereby removes =
some of the risk of having pins lean against the plate flange. It bugs =
me and makes tuning a bit squirrley.     Dale Erwin=20

  It sure does make the tuning squirrelly.  There's something else I'd =
call it, but.......like........I'm a lady.  ;-)    I'm wrestling with a =
piano that has exactly that problem.  The other causes of stiction I've =
dealt with successfully mostly by lubing some way or another.  But, =
since were talking right there at the pinblock, I haven't dared.  Any =
thoughts?  Yes, yes, I've already suggested that it goes in for a new =
block.
