<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">While tuning a couple of the pianos I have, I noticed that some of the
<BR>strings in the trebble unisons touch thier neighbors in the vicinity of
<BR>the tuning pins. After further investigation, this seems to be the case
<BR>on all 6 of the pianos I have. I am curious as to why. It appears that
<BR>the tuning pins were set to close together in this area. How does this
<BR>affect sound and tuning of the pianos? Are most/ all pianos this way?
<BR>Even the baby grand I have is like this.
<BR>
<BR>Thanks

<BR>
<BR>Any one else out there see this as a problem?
