<DIV><FONT color=#800000 face="DomCasual BT" =
size=4> The other
day I "ran into" a Wurlitzer console which had it`s top 2 =
tuning pins,
at the 1st tri-chord unison, too close together. When I put the =
tuning
lever tip on either of the top 2 pins the other tip would move. =
So, I need
to return as soon as possible to tuning a clean unison. As it was, =
I
roughly calculated how much the strings were moving once I removed the =
tuning
hammer and moved the pin that amount sharp to compensate, but the unison =
is far
from satisfactory. The owner mentioned that no other tuners had =
ever
mentioned this, leaving me to wonder what I was missing. I`ve =
compared all
my APSCO, Schaff, and Hale tips and they are a pretty much the same =
outside
dimensions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000 face="DomCasual BT" =

am anxious to please w/o asking the customer to recall the names of my
competition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000 face="DomCasual BT" size=4></FONT><FONT =
color=#800000
face="DomCasual BT" size=4> My plan, is to take a =
#2 tip which
will not slide as far down the pin as the #3`s, which I normally use, =
and grind
down the outside as much as necessary to allow it to fit on these pins =
w/o
interfering with the adjacent pin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#800000 face="DomCasual BT" =

suggestions or better ideas?</FONT></DIV>
