I gave it one treatment of 70% alcohol = and 30% H2O with a hypo syringe. It helped. I repeated the treatment the = second time and yeilded an even better result. The question is if one is = good and two is better, should I give it a 3rd pass? OR can a third = treatment be too much or harmful? Thanks, Julia Gottchall, Reading PA=20 It is possible to shrink the center pin bushings too much. I used = straight water once, in my early days, following the directions in some = book on piano servicing. It was a very sluggish action, but 100% water = worked too well and I ended up having to do a lot of re-pinning. =20 --David Nereson, RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
