<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>
