As the great Johnny Carson said, (as the know-all, see-all Swami) : I =
hold in my hand the answer to the loose tuning pin problem! (Yeah, =
right! :-()
Am I the only one singled out for this idiocy? Or, did the rest of youse =
guys/gals receive one, as well?=20
For those less fortunate (?), it's a little plastic thingee w/a rotating =
thingee that ratchets. The rotating thingee has a square hole in it, =
that a tuning pin would obviously fit into.
The text of the accompanying letter is as follows:
"Hello,"
"It is called a Tune Holder."
"It is an aid to piano tuning. With it, there will bew no more replacing =
tuning pin blocks that are rimmed and will not hold the tuning pins from =
turning! Also, there will be no more replacing grooved pressure bars!"
"I offer this one to you as a gift. Please accept this gift as an =
introduction to the Tune Holder."
"I hope you gave, (should be have), kept a list of all those beaurtiful =
olde pianos that people have that are out of tune, but would cost too =
much to tune up, because with the Tune Holder they will play again at a =
very low cost. They can be easily tuned in their own homes."
"Easy to install, just loose the bad string, make sure to place the Tune =
Holder on the pin so it will turn freely in the clockwise direction and =
slowly tune it. If you over tune, just use a screwdrive to remove the =
Tune Holder, and start over."
"For more information call (760) 218-0077"
"Yours,
Mason Nile"

Obviously, an ill-informed, mechanically talented, entrepneur, looking =
to make a gazillion bucks off us stupid pianer tooners!<G> I'm sure this =
individual is serious, as the sample "Tune Holder" is well made, =
(injection mould, plastic, process). There are at least three, and I =
suspect four parts to these little gems, so a great deal of effort was =
put into them, IMO. However, I doubt Mr. Nile has a clue about how a =
piano is tuned, or for that matter, the basic structure of a pianer!<G>
Just curious if anyone else was so very fortunate to receive this =
marvelous "sample"?
