I'm not familiar with the scale on this piano, but I doubt the becket is 
slipping out, (although it could be). But instead of the pin end of the 
string, take a look at the other end. Perhaps the string that is going out of 
tune is a looped string. Check to see if the tail is against the plate, or 
that the loop is snugged around the hitch pin.
