[pianotech] broken tuning pin

[Paul McCloud]

Some years ago, there were pianos coming from Eastern Europe and Russia.  I had to carry spare tuning pins and an extractor.  Sometimes it was very difficult to get the stub out, so I had to drill.  Not fun.

Never mind blaming the Chinese pianos.  I had this happen this summer on a three year old Petrof PIII

I tuned this Chinese piano the other day and the pin twisted broke off. It was a brand new piano, called A.Grand. Lucky I got the string in tune. It is holding fine and I am deciding whether to fix it or not. I think we will be seeing more of these. Regards, Jack Houweling
