Goals: Shim loose pins and continue rough tuning piano
Music: None – I’m tuning a piano here
Things have once again gone from bad to worse. A number of the pins that I shimmed and tune have slipped out of tune and, of course, they are no longer tunable. The shim solution worked, only to a degree. Now I’m not sure if I can use two shims per hole, or if I want to use the bushings that I bought, or if I just want to keep using larger size pins (I still have two more sizes to go before that is no longer an option). Again, I’m not sure what the best route is, so I’m going to call one of my consultants today. Depending on his answer, I may either
-Tune to a half tone or more below concert pitch to lessen the pull of the strings on the pins
-Double up shims with larger pins
-Use bushings
-Make a desk out of the sucker
This is not looking good.
