The bass separation is in a different place than in the treble, too. I'm not real sure I even want to do this job since the lady is happy with her 200 cents flat piano.

Would seem reasonable to think that the larger the separation, the greater pitch change will occur upon clamping. I did a repair on a good 1/2-inch separation a while back and seem to recall that pitch went up about 200 cents. So depending on how much you will be moving your assembly. How big is the separation?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>----- Original Message ----- </FONT> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From: <</FONT><A href="mailto:richard.ucci@att.net"><FONT face=Arial size=2>richard.ucci@att.net</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To: "Pianotech" <</FONT><A href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org"><FONT face=Arial size=2>pianotech@ptg.org</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 8:57 AM</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject: Re: Pinblock Separation Repair & Pitch Change</FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> Terry,I've got the same repair to make on the same piano.
