<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tuned a 1900 Kroeger "Upright Grand" [giggle] today. Very =
loose
tuning pins. Tried tapping to see if that had any effect. =
Helped on
a couple. Then - Ooops, where'd you go? I tapped one in and =
it sunk
nearly to the winding on the pin. And, the string required =
probably a full
turn or more to bring it back up to pitch (this was in the tenor). =
Again,
many loose pins in this "instrument", and am curious what you all would =
think
the culprit is. Also, if it were a cracked pinblock, how would you =
know
for certain?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
