I tuned a 20 year old = Baldwin spinet this morning, that the had never been tuned before. (Yes = it was a pitch raise, but it was only about 20 cents flat). As I was = tuning I noticed that Eb5 didn't play right. It not only wobbled back = and forth at the front, but was also going to down too far. I assumed a = broken mortise, and perhaps a missing punching. When I took the key out, = the mortise was OK, but guess what? The front rail pin, and punching was = completely missing. I took out the keys for about an octave on both = sides, think it might have come out some how. But I think it had been = missing ever since the piano left the factory. The owner did say that = his brother complained that the note didn't play right, but didn't pay = much attention to it.=20 This is the first time I have ever encountered something like this. = It's no biggie, but I thought it was interesting, non-the-less.
