---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello List. Back to my problem Yamaha C3 grand. It has been suggested by others on the list that I check the pin torque. I have researched the archives and also have read the section on the subject in Arthur Reblitz book Piano Servicing, Tuning & Rebuilding. His comment on tuning pin torque is ". . if it takes less than 50 inch pounds, than the pins are probably too loose. I read one archive comment on loose tuning pins by John Tuttle. He states "I believe optimum torque to ne 12 Ft./lbs. I couldn't find anything more specific in the archives on the subject. Reblitz says "inch pounds" and Tuttle says "foot pounds". Which should it be "Inch" or "Foot". I will assume that it can be either. And, is there a conversion on inch to foot?. Does anyone have some suggestions on tuning pin torque. I would assume that the torque would be basically the same wether it is a grand, spinet or full upright. I thank you all in advance.
