<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John, I've seen loose tuning pin =
problems in this
vintage samick. As for the delamination ,or sagging block this may =
be an
after production event. I was contracted by a former tech rep from =
samick to
repin a few of these. I recall it was a drilling problem since corrected =
at the
factory. Under warranty, Samick supplied me with tuning pins and a fee =
to
perform this for them. Talk about an undesirable task! Banging tuning =
pins for a
day and a half, then tune, tune,tune. Perhaps the list could =
comment
on the possibility of a C.A. treatment on this piano. =
