I am having a problem in the 2 treble sections. As I have stated on this list, I am not a proponent of excessive pounding, but it's what I must do on this piano to gain any tuning stability. At the last tuning I applied some Protec on the treble strings at the Capo with just a little improvement, but not nearly what I would like. This customer is using this piano to record a CD and needs it to stay in perfect tune. I must go and touch-up the treble about once a month. Any thoughts on this? </font></div> <div><font face="Arial"></font> </div> <div><font face="Arial">Al Guecia</font></div></div></blockquote></div> <div><br><br clear="all">Hi Al,</div> <div> </div> <div>You've had a lot of great advice so I won't offer advice just remind you of what a mentor used to tell me. A piano tuning is like a hair cut, after the right side is cut as they are working on the left the right side is growing and already beginning to need a trim. </div> <div>After a month especially if they are recording, pounding over the same notes over & over & over, a tuning should be expected.</div> <div> </div> <div>Mike<br>-- <br>Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. <br>Vince Lombardi<br><br>Michael Magness<br>Magness Piano Service<br>608-786-4404<br><a href="http://www.IFixPianos.com">www.IFixPianos.com</a><br> email <a href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com">mike@ifixpianos.com</a> </div></div>
