<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tuned one in a store that had just uncrated it.
It was about 20 cents sharp and the pins were so tight that all my Mahafey
impact lever would do was loosen the tip. I could not tighten the tip enough to
move those pins. Luckily I had one of those Schaff levers the designed for the
Baldwin factory where the tip is secured with a bolt.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Anyone else run into Pearl
River's UP-125M1 studio with SUPER TIGHT tuning pins? I had a new
one yesterday that I was sure I would twist off pins, and they were
snappy/jumpy. Mark Wisner, any thoughts?</FONT></DIV>
