I tuned a fairly new Samick grand a couple of days ago. There was some minor work that required removing the action. On top of the keys was a small dowel that appeared to be hammer shank stock, except that it was about 11 inches long, tapered to a point over three inches of one end. It was pretty obvious that the action had never been taken out before. I put the dowel in the piano bench as it certainly served no purpose where it was. What would have this piece have been? I don't think it was something dropped in the piano by the owners..could be, but I don't think so. It looked like something left behind by the builders. Any thoughts???? Ed Carwithen Oregon
