Hello list, I have a job on Thursday to tune a Duo/Art player piano, about 30 years old. I have not tuned a player piano...but fortunately the client let me take a look at it before I decided whether to accept the job. I was up front with him that I have not tuned player piano before and would not charge him if I do not think I'm up to the task. Problem is, it has a device in it that lowers between the strings and the hammers to give it a "rinky tink" sound. On key 88, the device blocks the lowest tuning pin. I think I can work around it. Anyway, has anyone out there worked on a Duo/Art player? Anything gotcha's I should look out for? Regards, Samuel Choy.
