> Hi. You might run into one of these, and also want to know the answer.
> The piano is a Steinway B and has a little metal plate on the plate that

> something unusual about this hexigrip pinblock . I don't like it because
> the pins jump. This is a brand new piano, and I am wondering if they are
> using tuning pins like Yamaha used for awhile that had little teeth or
> barbs on them that allow the pin to turn clockwise, but fight the counter
> clockwise direction. This is a very fussy customer whos son plays with
> the philharmonic. If you can find out anything, would you let me know?
