<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Howdy,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Took a look at a 1929 Knabe grand that was rebuilt
in the late 70s. Hmm. Well, I guess nice parts may have been a
little more difficult to get back then...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This piano has those elongated, thin balance
pins. There's not a lot of wobble, but they don't fit quite the way
I'd like, either. Did I read about resizing bushings by using a quick
shot of steam on this list? Has anybody rebushed a set of these? I
see the cauls listed on the Spurlock website & in the Pianotek
catalog, so I guess somebody does them. Any bits of advice?</FONT></DIV>
