Dennis, unfortunately some pianos pass through our dealer here without more than a tuning, but I have had my hands on several beginning in '93. I watched the progress as the factory addressed flange pinning, rebuilt their parts cutting machine to build more even and squared flanges, and most recently, tightened down the hammer filing so they come out close to shape. Having noticed the improvements and enjoyed working on the actions, I am puzzled by what "tension" you are talking about, and who would be exploding? Audrey Karabinus, Seattle
