Hello all - this didn't get posted for some reason - so I'm sending it =

Hello List
>From SunnySussex where we have a problem with one of our pianos at =
Glyndebourne. Doesn't stay in tune. This is not one I tune for there are =
two of us and this is a rehearsal stage piano. My colleague asked me to =
have a go at it while he stood by. It seems it was tuned just yesterday =
and already the top two breaks were in trouble and the effect was =
creeping down into the middle break - unisons weren't unison. Yuk! So I =
inspected it and found there is quite a lot of Joe G's "flag-poling" =
going on. Of course you recognise the model (it also has MII stencilled =
on the web beside the CA-40). My gut feeling is there is too much "give" =
in those wrest-pin bushings. I was just wondering whether a good old =
dose of CA might not be in order...it might just harden those =
bushings...What do you think?
Over to you!
>From a sunny Sussex evening in the Downland Village. The Elm trees at =
the bottom of my garden have Dutch Elm Disease and tomorrow they're all =
being cut down. The condition is shewn by a black ring between the bark =
and the wood - a knife cut will reveal the problem.
