  Subject: [pianotech] Old upright


        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?
