<div>If the tuning pins are rusted and corroded, and the customer is concerned about the cosmetics, then yes, it is an issue!</div> <div> </div> <div>If it were my piano and I had an extra $50 or $100 to spend on it, and it was trashed, I definitely wouldn't get any regulation done. Besides, that wouldn't cover much anyway!</div> <div> </div> <div>Back to my original post...I am getting together a full cleaning service for my customers who request it, and if you don't like the tuning pin/coil cleaner, then just say so. With that said, what others ways are there to try and "liven" up the pinblock area?</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div> </div> <div>Matthew<BR><BR><B><I>Farrell <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.3354" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV><FONT
face=Arial>I was thinking the same thing. Cosmetics can certainly be an issue for piano owners, but if the tuning pins are rusty and crusty and dirty, is the rest of the piano pretty darn trashed? I could see it if it were part of some large-scale cosmetic uplift for the piano, but to just focus on tuning pins - I don't get it.......</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>If it were my piano and I had an extra $50 or $100 to spend on it, I'd have some regulation done......</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left> <DIV>There are
