If you feel brave you might try sticking a dampp-chaser rod right under the block and see if that doesn’t open it up a bit.

Tell the minister of music that the pianos are untunable, and tell him to have the dealer send out his tuner to solve the problem. Wim -----Original Message----- From: Leslie Bartlett <l-bartlett at sbcglobal.net> To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Sat, Jan 30, 2010 2:39 pm Subject: [pianotech] tuning pin tightness A local church bought three pianos, roughly topping out at $200,000. Two are Estonias. On one the pins are so tight they pop, most of the quite loudly making it un-tunable for all practical purposes. These are about one year old. What would you recommend as far as some action regarding the piano? I’m afraid of twisting pins to breaking point. thanks les bartlett -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
