Tuned a 40 year old Kimball console on Tuesday last week, 30 cents low. All the keys were working, except for a few slightly sluggish jacks in the upper register. But after a treating them with Protek, they worked fine. The piano has a DC, but it wasn't plugged in, which I suspected was causing the few jacks to be tight. So I plugged it in, and told the customer to leave it on 24/7, as are all DC in Hawaii, explaining the heat will keep the action from freezing up, Got a call on Friday saying the keys are sticking. Went back that evening, and sure enough, about a dozen jacks, hammer butts,and wippen centers were very tight. I told the customer that it wasn't supposed to work that way, so I unplugged the DC, and told the customer to call me if the keys were still sticking in a couple of days. This morning he called and said all the keys are working. Go figure. Any one want to speculate why? Wim Blees, RPT Hawaii -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
