Good Day-  Terry
 
 IMHO - I think that it probably relates to the pin block being shot.
Pins driven to the plate by the last person should have 
been a good clue. :) What are you shimming pins with?

 What puzzled me was that I went quickly through the pins in the center of
 the piano and they seemed weak, but good enough for now. After shimming a
 number of the pins, I noticed that a bunch of tuning pins that had not been
 identified as being loose, now had the characteristic of jumping about a
 half step down when trying to just move the pitch down a hair. Could this be
 related to the fact that the coils were squished up to the plate?
