Cy Haven't checked it closely for pinblock fit but the partial plate looks like it comes up to the block nicely. I tune midsection first, then treble, then bass. Everything is tightly glued - no sign of keytops coming off, for example. I'd have to say that this high humidity is rather infrequent, hereabouts. I had to put oarlocks on the gunwales of my Volvo. First time I've seen the piano this far out of tune in 10+ years (might be because I've always tuned in the summer). Tom Cole Cy Shuster wrote: > Pinblock not mated to plate flange?
