I think the thing can be tightened up enough to be tuned.  </BLOCKQUOTE> Again, Les, I think you owe it to yourself, and to the customer, to disassociate your self with this situation. It is onyl going tog et worse. You're going to spend more time than what your going to get paid for. The only way I would attempt to try to help this customer is if you got her to agree, in writing, that the pianos needs to be rebuilt at a cost of x number of dollars. Trying to do a little here and there, with existing parts that don't work, or are in bad shape, is not going to do her, or you any good. Good luck Wim  </HTML>
