Let me revisit that pounding part.  I realize I started out that way  
but have migrated towards pulling up to pitch and then relaxing the  
pin.  I do generally have to test more firmly on Asian pianos but have  
experienced the problem of pitch creeping up again and attributed it  
to pounding.  So, to a much lesser degree.
