About 6 months ago I shared my experience of treating a grand pin block from the bottom with the piano upside down. I had previously treated it from the top, but because of the plate bushings, I didn't get good enough penetration to make much of a difference. Anyway, today I returned to do the 6 month tuning and I'm happy to report that the piano is holding well and all the pins feel quite good. If I didn't know that the pin block had been treated, I probably wouldn't have noticed that the pins felt different than any other older piano. I would definately consider using this technique again if circumstances warranted it. The piano, a Harrington grand, was not worth doing any major rebuilding, nor could the customer have afforded it anyway. This process saved the piano for what I hope will be a number of years, and for this customer's use, it worked out well. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
