[pianotech] Old upright

[Allan]

I just recently put a small piece of sandpaper in that loose pin, just what
I had on hand, not even the cloth type, and the result was perfect.

I will always carry some for that purpose now.

I tuned an old upright today.  About half a dozen or so of the pins were
untunable.  When I released my hand from the hammer, the pin jumped back
down and the tone went considerably flat.

 

What would be a temporary fix here?  Would changing those pins with a size
or two higher be a temporary remedy?  The coils are already touching the
bushing, so I guess tapping the pins would not be a good idea.

 

Any thoughts please?
