<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Hi List,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Last week I came upon a piano, =
that was the
hardest, I have ever had to tune. (Started in '75) (No. not the =
tuning of
this piano. I thought I would beat the smarties to that one.
:-))</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It was the same brand as the next =
hardest
one, I tune.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It was a Steinway upright, =
furniture model,
has a 40 stencilled on the block.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>It had been restrung, with new =
pins. The
strings were imbedded in the felt strip between the pin and the =
pressure
bar. I think that was the main problem.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Is everyone SURE, that putting =
Protek on the
different bearing points to get better rendering, and easier =
tuning, won't
migrate to the tuning pins and cause a =
problem?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Regards,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
