Of course you realize my comments about tooting your horn were tongue

the pin is set by feel and hearing, so the test blows become more and
more supurflous. (scuse me superfluous)  In other words if each
tuning you do is to be someway better, and this has been going on for
twenty years or longer, THEN it STAYS!!!.  (execpt for that dinky
little Wurtilizer spinet whose plate bolts got loose in 15
years)(that had been sitting next to the heat register)
