<DIV>I tuned a Bergmann/YC BG yesterday with a sostenuto pedal that =
would
not slide the action. Tried to pull the action to see what was =
going
on and it would not come out using appropriate force. Seems to =
me that
it might be as simple as some kind of "locking device" used for =
shipment
that was not removed in dealer prep - but since I am an independent =
RPT and
a "newby" full-time tuner I have no experience with this particular
issue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, on the same piano, one wing bolt was missing where the =
pedal lyre
attaches to the bottom of the keybed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Help?</DIV>
