<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I suppose mainly, because, I can't figure out how
to tune them satisfactorily.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I have tried, lubricating the friction points with
Goose Juice and CLP, didn't help. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I tried to just bring them to tune and stop.
Didn't work.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Someone had said they just brought them up to the
point of tune and stopped. What happens if they are high, and you have to bring
them down? Like in a period of high humidity.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I am almost ready to refuse to tune them, I find
them such a hassle.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My sister-in-law is on the hunt for a used piano
and has asked me to look at a Steinway Console for her. It's been a
long, long time since I've serviced any of these and only remember
that I didn't like them. Besides difficulty in tuning is there anything
else I can say to persuade her to look elsewhere?</FONT></DIV>
