I was tuning a 1920 Steinway S reproducing piano yesterday and had quite a difficult time setting the pins/strings. The tuning sounded fine when I finished but it took me quite a lot more time than I would usually take for a tuning. Any words of advice for someone who hasn't had a lot of experience with these pianos? Is it because there are no pin bushings? I would also be interested in any thougts on the value of this instrument. Everything seems to be in excellent condition,including the player mechanism. Thanks in advance, Dale Davidson Ottawa, Ont.
