Alan,
you better notice the note number, as when the pin is driven back in place,
it enlarge the bushing and will be prone to go out again (sometime will be
too slow also) at a moment or another.

So it is not a real fix, just a way to come home sooner, as you said.

If center pins go out as that , chances are that the piano is submitted to
large humidity changes, that is what I noticed anyway.

Regards

I. O.

  Hey LIST, hey Joe (and a note to Wim B)  ...

  Hoorah, hooray. They want to put DC systems in a buncha pianos at the
Fort. There IS a Santa Claus. There WILL be a Christmas, after all! We are
talking 9 installed systems here.

  Oh sorry, got a little carried away ... just following up on my comment
that some government business is definitely worth doing.

  Wim ... had a key that wouldn't reset on soft or medium blows despite all
adjustments to wippen height, let-off, etc. Then I noticed the jack center
pin peeking out on one side! In go the needlenose pliers, squeeze go the
needlenose pliers, pin centered, key resets every time ... and you, Sir,
have justified your whole existence! It was the end of a very long and
tiring day and I needed to get outa there. Thanks for that tip.

    Hello Terry, I'm in agreement with most of your statement. One issue I
would like to address is what is an appropriate piano to put a system in?
When I'm selling a system for a piano I'm recommending it for several
reasons; To protect the piano from damage, to provide tuning stability, to
provide consistent pitch and tone so the pianist can train their ear, to
protect my reputation concerning tuning stability, to increase the pianist's
enjoyment and playing time on the piano. My point is that the Dampchaser
system is an investment in the pianist as much as it is the piano. The
condition of the piano should be the main consideration, not the value. How
can you put a value on a 5 year old child starting lessons?
