<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had to repin all the Steinway =
shanks I
recently installed. When they came, they were the best examples =
of
perpetual motion machines I had ever seen. Well, golly, almost =
all of
them have loosened up again!--not to their original state, but much =
looser
than I find acceptable. (The piano got used a couple of times =
while work
was in progress.) Dang, I've never had this happen =
before---am I
in the twilight zone? I couldn't believe my =
eyes. Would
shrinking the cloth help before I pin....again?
Grrrr.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
