result.<br><br>

<dd>It is common on cheap chinese agraffes. You are lucky no
strings broke. I've had that happen on new pianos coming out of the
box. Plan on letting down to a pop and then smoothly pulling up to
pitch. <br><br>

<dd><font size=2>Hi all. I did a warranty tuning on an Essex baby

<dd>Pull (no pitch change) <br>
<dd>Pull (a little pitch change)<br>
<dd>Pull (POP! at the agraffe and the string goes way sharp)<br>
<dd>Bring down to pitch. <br>

<dd>I don’t tune a lot of new grands in this neck of the woods. Is
the popping noise typical?<br>
