    Hi Bill:
    I just "rebuilt" a Schoenhut toy grand, here's what I found.  The =
old sound rods were in such bad shape, that I bought a new assembly from =
Schoenhut.  Strangely enough, they had new ones.  However, they were =
sadly out of tune, maybe thats the charm of a toy piano-to play slightly =
out of tune. =20
    Using my Accutuner, I plucked each rod to check its pitch.  To raise =
the pitch, as Sarah said, I ground off a bit of metal from the end.  Be =
very cautious as a little metal means a lot of change.  To lower the =
pitch, I soldered a small amount of solder on to the end of the rod.  Be =
generous here, as you can file this off to come down to the proper =
pitch.  It takes a bit of time as I found each one to need correction =
(as in a piano) but it will sound great when you've finished. =20
    Good Luck,
    Mike Kurta
