Try the short tank vertical system that they use for Kawai CX5H pianos.

The odd pin torques can be the result of the drill bit not being kept cool
enough resulting in burnished koles on notes where the bit gets too hot.

Hi List folk,

 Just returned from a 1985 YC F116 upright and I was told "the previous
tuner said the pins are VERY tight so it needs to be tuned very often".
What I found was the majority of the pins in the treble were tight, some
extremely...all very jumpy and maybe 6 that were extremely loose, from
the treble break on down the majority were what I consider average, not
very tight, a few very loose and a few extremely tight and again, all
jumpy. Unison tuning was a bear on the notes with 3 varying degrees of
pin torque. We talked about Dampp Chaser and gave her the brochure.

Is this common or not for a 14yr old YC?

DO I assume correctly the a Dampp Chaser system will help at least a
little?
Will a standard front system fit in there? Didn't look deep enough for a
tank to me.

Thanks folks....
