You can use large sticky notes to protect the sides. I got this tip form a Steinway workshop I was at once. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 10:29 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:limhseng@gmail.com">limhseng@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>S&S 45" uprights are notorious for taking a lot of patience and a lot of work to get it in tune. But the good news is that once you've got it there, it will pretty much stay there, especially in a very stable climate like Singapore.</div>

I have difficulties tuning the last 2 octaves(high treble) of this model.
Octaves and unisons were difficult to set and stay stable. Pins are good and the
piano condition is still very good. Any comments appreciated.
