Hi Jean-Jaques, yes indeed, sounds strange and as I mentioned: hard to imagine that it can vibrate freely. But it takes only a few minutes to do and if it doesn´t work: so what. Just unscrew the coin. I wouldn´t do that with a customer´s piano, only with my own in my shop. I will ask a collegue who attended the class together with me. Perhaps he knows more. Anybody else who heard about that dirty trick?
