I live in Missouri with a lot of humidity and temperature swings. Pianos in rural churches don't use heat/air much during the week. Did two yesterday, couldn't get them to sound right, to me. Have just about decided to become a Wal-mart Greeter. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">

<BR>Hi Alan
<BR>
<BR>Try tapping the bridge pins, and setting strings on the bridge, in addition to shaping the hammers. Convince the church that after 30 years, a piano needs more than just tuning.
