Hi John,
I lost a mute in two pianos so far.  I have one of those long eye brow =
tweezer things but I couldn't get it out.  So in six months, when my =
customer reschedules, I might give it a try again.  I hate spinits too. =
I can't get my hands in that trebble area real well.=20

  Hi Anson-

  Yeah, spinets are fun L!  The tuning pins may need CA, the pinblock =
could be bad, or you may need to work more on tuning stability-just =
takes time for that.  In the high treble, sometimes you can get a mute =
below the striking point, sometimes it's just a challenge.  Be very =
careful about mute placement, as it's very easy to "lose" a mute below =
the strike point!!  Good luck!!

  Hello everyone;

  =20

  I am just starting out with tuning.  I did my first Spinet last night =
and it was terrible!  I see why they say expensive grands are easier to =
tune.  The bass was in drastic condition and some of the strings had a =
dull sound that I couldn't identify.  Some of the notes couldn't hold =
the tuning, once I tuned it the pin would just slip back on its own.  =
Another problem I had was I couldn't figure out how to mute the outside =
strings for the treble--there was no space for a temperament strip and I =
couldn't figure out a good way to do it.  Thankfully it was just a =
friend's piano I was doing as a favour, and I got away with a rough =
tuning.  Anyhow, for any of you who have dealt with these problems =
before, any advice? =20

  Thanks

  Anson
