[pianotech] Estonia

Thanks !   Scary possibility, but probably unrealistic fear.

    Carl,

     I worked for a Baldwin dealer in the late 70's (The height of the Baldwin tight pin era) and I did break a few pins. The biggest problem was the jumpy-snappy nature of the process. I was just out of school and inexperience was certainly a factor in my struggles. I remember a 243 school piano with the rubber wheels rolling away from me as I pushed-pulled and swore. That being said I really think breaking a pin is an unlikely event.

  I know of a Young Chang Pramberger 185 grand where a pin broke.  I'm not sure if it was being tuned by an experienced tuner, but I think it was.
