I can't believe Steinway let a product like that out of the factory! It is totally obvious that the bridge pin/bevel area do not meet.

I regularly tune a 2001 Steinway Concert Grand that has a definite issue with the location of the bridge pins. (see image) Throughout this piano there are varying degrees of misplacement of the bridge pins, however the one I focused on is by far the worst offender and produces false beats beyond belief, hence I added the PitchLock String Coupler to reduce the false beats existent. ( http://www.pitchlock.com ) Does anyone have a surefire method to correct this issue without a tear down? (larger pic available if needed) Sincerely, Keith McGavern, RPT pianostuff.kamcam.com
