These can be sticky situations. My best advice to you is to bring
your tuning lever to the next tuning appointment (hopefully in the
winter) and take real measurements. Having the customer complain to
the dealer about loose pins now would probably not be productive, but if
they turn out to be way low in torque next February I would either call /
visit the dealer yourself with the numbers, or let the customer call them
with the hard data.<br><br>
Some pinblocks tune OK with only 60 inch pounds, but I think most people
feel 80 is a reasonable minimum number.<br><br>
Maybe they'll eventually see the benefit of buying a nice new piano
someday ;-)<br><br>

I'm wondering what torque level you would consider "unacceptably
low" <br>
for a recently purchased used piano.<br>
