I thought I would beat the smarties to that one. :-))</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It was the same brand as the next hardest one, I tune.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It was a Steinway upright, furniture model, has a 40 stencilled on the block.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It had been restrung, with new pins. The strings were imbedded in the felt strip between the pin and the pressure bar. I think that was the main problem.</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Is everyone SURE, that putting Protek on the different bearing points to get better rendering, and easier tuning, won't migrate to the tuning pins and cause a problem?</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>John M.
