<BR> I was tuning a steinway upright today,and thought about the conversation thats been going on about flexing the tuning pin.On a steinway upright, it definetely helps
<BR>to get the pin in a neutral position.Most steinway uprights I've ever encountered are more difficult to set the pin,compared to other pianos.
<BR>just a thought,

<BR>As far I'm concerned, you can take all Steinway Studios and drop them in the river. For the money, they're not that great. And as a technician they are impossible to tune. Yes, they stay where you put them. But by that time you're arm has fallen off, and you've spent all of you free times doing it.

<BR>Ask me what I think of Steinway uprights.
