What make is the piano, what size were the original pins? Sounds to me like there was a small pin originally and someone pounded over-sized pins without first reaming the holes. It's either a job the 'restringer' has to eat and redo properly or as Ron said pitch it. Which reminds me... I'm giving a 5' Ivers & Pond grand a ride to the landfill later today. Is there anything someone wants salvaged? The dampers are removed and very nicely polished but that's the extent of refurbishing this gets from me. Saturday goes a Wentworth, Sunday either a HF Miller or Ludwig. Heck, maybe two today, two Saturday. Better there than cluttering up my shop. I'll pull the actions to extricate the lead then they go too. Action models?? Hurry! The M&H Screwstringer upright is saved from this fate due to it's peculiarity. I've been trying to give the grands away by advertising on craigslist even into Connecticut but no takers, NBSS doesn't want them either. -- Regards, Jon Page
