Paul said, "The serial number is 832474. I don't have a Pierce Atlas yet, so if someone could please look it up and let me know the date of manufacture, I'd appreciate it. The seller said the piano was eleven years old, but I'd like to confirm this." Paul, Get yourself an Atlas!<G> The date is 1986. As for the tuning pin torque, was that loosening or tightening the string? I tightening then you got a problem. If loosening, I'd say the pin torque is marginal. This one sounds like it's been flogged quite a bit! Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
