John, go back and read it again. Ed Carwithen wrote about the tuning problem, I replied that it was probably either the heating vent, and/or a trashed soundboard. I'm the guy who argued at considerable length on the list a while back about the ineffectiveness and potential long term damage resulting from tightening plate bolts and seating strings on bridges as an automatic cure for tuning stability and sound production problems. Then again, a lot of these anomolies look to me like soundboard problems to me these days, but I bet that's the case a whole lot more often than techs realise. > Ron
