What do you mean by setting the pins "heavily or lightly" David Love www.davidlovepianos.com -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Cole <tcole at cruzio.com> Sender: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 14:55:34 To: <pianotech at ptg.org> Reply-To: tcole at cruzio.com, pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] How come? Have you considered that it may be a function of pin setting technique? In my own experience if I set the pins too heavily in the high treble, those notes will be sharp at the next tuning. Most people don't pound the high treble so I try to set the pins more lightly.
