USE LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had a number of knock-down drag-out fights on pianotech on this subject. I started waxing emotional about the ethics of charging a lot for a huge job when all concerned would be better off with a minimal job, so I (pardon the expression) am taking a breather from the pianotech list. Less works. More is bad. bad. bad. Not good for pianos, not good for customers, and not good for you. There's only one of you. The piano will survive if you only treat the pins which REALLY need it, AS they need it, with a minimal amount. Really, it will survive. If any marginal pins get untunable later, they can be treated with a small amount later. Susan P.S. Hope you feel better soon. At 12:37 AM 10/4/2005 -0400, you wrote: >Apologizing for double listing.
