I hate spinits too. = I can't get my hands in that trebble area real well.=20 Marshall ----- Original Message -----=20 From: John Delmore=20 To: 'Pianotech List'=20 Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 1:02 PM Subject: RE: Spinet Hi Anson- Yeah, spinets are fun L! 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.
