Beautiful!; but the string on E5 would slip out of= tune--go flat from repeated forte blows.  It's the only note to do it.<= BR> Everything looks fine.  I suspect maybe the becket is moving out of the= tuning pin?!?  Any one ever encounter this? Paul Chick </BLOCKQUOTE> I'm not familiar with the scale on this piano, but I doubt the becket is sli= pping out, (although it could be). But instead of the pin end of the string,= take a look at the other end. Perhaps the string that is going out of tune = is a looped string. Check to see if the tail is against the plate, or that t= he loop is snugged around the hitch pin. Wim </HTML>
