It was dropped and one of the back posts was knocked out, which I've sucessefully repaired.<BR>  <BR> I haven't tried much, i only have 3 years experience behind me with tuning, and I'm only 18. This is my own piano, so im experimenting, pianos i worked with before (surprisingly i did well, no complaints and i do not use an EDT) I have not readjusted anything, other than regulation. Which was good too.<BR>  <BR> Alicia<BR><BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 13:10:35 -0500<BR>From: pianotech@a440piano.net<BR>Subject: Re: Striking point<BR>To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR><BR> <META content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name=Generator> <STYLE> .ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;} .ExternalClass BODY.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} </STYLE> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Alicia,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">More info needed.  Grand or upright?  Old worn parts, or new/general condition of the action.  General condition of the Belly.  What have you tried?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">William R.
