driving tuning pins on a samick grand

[J Patrick Draine]

Terry's diagnosis is spot on, as is his advice regarding jacks. The
little jack is OK if you use it (preferably a pair of jacks) to push
up a solid piece of wood against the pinblock.
Dan, if this isn't your own piano, I'm afraid that not only do you
need to use a shorter tuning pin, but you owe your customer a new
pinblock as well.
