Well SELL them, yes. I'm not sure my torque wrench would go that high. I'd have to get a foot-pound wrench. As long as they are willing to pay me to get it close I'm fine with that. I think in half a dozen tunings I will have gotten things close enough that I might not have to move the pins much, and so can do ok. les _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of J Patrick Draine Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 7:12 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] tuning pin tightness Les, I assume the dealership would be HAPPY to sell them a new piano -- I think you meant to write they weren't eager to replace/swap out the piano. Take some torque readings, write up a report for the powers-that-be at the school, and have them send it along with a letter to Estonia's US rep and the Estonia offices (Indrek Laul, CEO) DEMANDING they honor their warranty. Or, just bill by the hour, and use the extra bucks to buy high leverage tuning levers (Fujan extra long, maybe Reyburn's grand piano impact tuning lever).
