I tuned a 1920s-type Hardman small grand today. Who knows what has been =
done to the pinblock on this POS, but every single tuning pin up to the =
mid-treble are horribly jumpy - I mean the finest increment to change =
pitch is ten to 20 cents - most moves are more like 30 to 50 cents. It =
is virtually untunable. I left most unisons beating maybe an average a =
good 1 bps. I've never encountered a piano like this. Is there any easy =
thing to do to make it smoother - even moderately tunable? The piano is =
a bit of a heap and is not worth dumping much money into.....

And yes, we talked about replacement.   ;-)
