The tuning pins may need CA, the pinblock could be bad, or you may need to work more on tuning stability-just takes time for that. In the high treble, sometimes you can get a mute below the striking point, sometimes it's just a challenge. Be very careful about mute placement, as it's very easy to "lose" a mute below the strike point!! Good luck!!

I did my first Spinet last night and it was terrible! I see why they say expensive grands are easier to tune. The bass was in drastic condition and some of the strings had a dull sound that I couldn't identify. Some of the notes couldn't hold the tuning, once I tuned it the pin would just slip back on its own. Another problem I had was I couldn't figure out how to mute the outside strings for the treble--there was no space for a temperament strip and I couldn't figure out a good way to do it. Thankfully it was just a friend's piano I was doing as a favour, and I got away with a rough tuning. Anyhow, for any of you who have dealt with these problems before, any advice?
