<DIV>Hello Dave,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I am trying to image how Joe Garrett would </DIV>
<DIV>state this. Failing in this effort I will put it as</DI=
V>
<DIV>well, as I can.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I hope this "former tuner " is not a member of PTG.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> To torque a piano because it sits on what=
ever
</DIV>
<DIV>could be true -- IF -- it were a Sq. piano. =
A
Sq. piano</DIV>
<DIV>has 4 ( four ) weight bearing legs. </DIV>
<DIV> A 1970,s M-H BB has 3&n=
bsp;
(three).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> His statement fly's in the face of fact, logic</DIV>
<DIV>and common reasoning and is insulting to a </DIV>
<DIV>person who does not -- fear ------ to think.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I have had extensive experience with the M-H</DIV>
<DIV>pianos of this time period. I have found that those </DIV>
<DIV>pianos needed all the plate screws tighten and</DIV>
<DIV>the pin block "wedged" at point of contact with</DIV>
<DIV>the plate flange. THEN tighted the pinblock</DIV>
<DIV>screws. &nbs=
p; </DIV>
<DIV> I will add, that at this
time the "Rule of 10" </DIV>
<DIV>had been in force long enough and was now</DIV>
<DIV>bearing fruit for the imported pianos. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> " If you run from the truth,</DIV>
<DIV> you run toward a lie"</DIV>
