> Hi everyone,

> I've been fighting a Steinway L 1954 for the past 3
> months. It was donated to a church recently. I did a
> quick tuning on it a few weeks after delivery and it
> responded as well as any piano would after it has been
> moved. In the past month individuals strings have been
> seriously dropping in pitch, mostly in the mid to
> upper treble. As I checked pin tightness they were
> very loose. So I shimmed the offenders with sandpaper.
> It seems that every other week I am finding new pins
> that need attention. I realize a piano is going to
> have some stability issues after a move, but that
> severe? What do you think is the best coarse of action
> for this piano?
> 
> Any and all input would be appreciated.

> Thanks,
