DEFINITELY no offense taken. :D I'm relatively new at this, and need all the info I can get. I've only been trained as a tuner & have gotten into repair out of necessity. ;) Good point about the CA running somewhere...it's a baby grand...I'll double check that. That would really be nasty if it ran somewhere! :-0 Yikes! I'll let you know what I find...won't be with the piano again for 2 weeks or so. I'll definitely use less on the rest of the piano, then fill in the gaps. Thanks! -Maggie >> Really?!?!
