..structurally, not tuning.. ..but first.. ..got a call to fix sticking keys on the same piano..the average *swing* on the hammer shank flanges was 4.5..some had a hard time with 2 swings..obviously, real tight..applied Proteck to all 88..much improved, although the customer was warned that the problem MAY come back again..she knows that if it does, i'll have to re-bush/re-pin..she's happy for now.. ..the piano's enviornment is a very humid one..there is a Dampp-Chaser installed, but she had it unplugged..i advised to plug it in, seeing that she made the investment and I went through my Dampp-Chaser advantages and dis-advantages..blah blah..it's plugged back in..apparantly, the person before me advised her that Dampp-Chasers do not work..they're a waste of money..i asked her if she made the initial investment in the D-C to waste money..?..this made her laugh..i'm learning!.. ..one more thing on the D-C..there was a rod installed on the key bed about 9 inches from the key slip..i haven't seen one placed there before..is this common?.. ..now to my structure question... ..this piano has a wobble to it..all 3 legs sit in *coaster cups*..the front 2 legs are on a tile floor and the back leg sits on a carpet..all the bolts are tight..and there's still a pretty good wobble to it..i noticed this with another DH I tuned 6 months ago..this one had all 3 legs sitting on carpet..it wobbled as much as this one today..anyone care to comment on this?..thanks.
