Fisher >fish@communique.net >Registered Piano Technician >Piano Technicians Guild >New Orleans Chapter 701 This brings up a question I have been thinking of asking for a while. I have always had this "fear" of stripping out some plate screw or pin block screw when I wanted "to check" them to see if they are tight, or, worse yet, wringing one of them off. I know not to just tighten them with all my might, but what should I do if one of them does strip? How should I fix it? That is a "whole bunch of tention" to put onto those other screws when the one I am tightening strips. And if one strips, might the others be suspect, too?
