I tuned a piano today that had most pins at 50-70 but a few around 30. I marked the top of these pins with blue chalk and told the customer that they were some questionable notes. She said that the last tuner didn't say anything about that and I asked her when that was. She said it was when her mother had the piano tuned for her wedding, in 1982! Regards, Ed Foote
