Dear List, I've got a big piano (no, another one) with very wobbly notes on either side of the mid-treble break. Wobbly in sound and in pitch stability. The common description would be false beats, but also low sustain. The whole board is great, and I'm confident that that if both terminations are solid, that region will be too. If the worse case scenario happened, and the bridge pins needed to be reinforced with epoxy, could the entire repair be done in 24 hours? I don't think so. Count the steps: slack and clear strings away, pull old bridge pines, test new pin size, size hole with epoxy, drive and finish pins pins, cure resin, restring through stable. I don't think so. I already have a long list of things that I've checked. But others might like the list. Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter, P.T.G.
