<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK folks, anyone want to tackle a little fun
mystery question? This one is probably directed at the newbie, as the
seasoned veteran should pick up on the answer pretty quick...I
think!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tuning a newer Kohler and Campbell SKG 600 (grand)
that has individual tied strings. String near last plate strut in
treble doesn't want to stay in tune while I'm tuning. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I checked the wire for possible trouble and
couldn't see anything obvious, except the routing seemed a little crooked. So I
straightened out the wire routing, seated sting lightly on bridge, eased
the rounded areas of the wire at the capo, and made sure the tail was seated at
hitch pin. Pulled string to pitch and all seemed well. I congratulated myself
and proceeded to make out a bill. While waiting I rechecked the note in
question, and, the right string was back out of tune again. Ok, I said to
myself, I must not have gotten nearly enough stretch out of the wire or
something, so I whammed it into tune once again. Customer is now on phone call
(don't you hate that when it happens as you're trying to get out the
door?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Soooo, I'm sitting there playing on the piano and
poke at the offending sour unison, just to make sure it was holding solid.
Yikes! It was out again. Now I'm getting nervous as I am sure something is
wrong. But what? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any takers out there as to what I
discovered?</FONT> </DIV>
