schimmel grand

[Jerry Cohen]

Richard,

 

In the past, I have found Schimmel tuning pin torque to be somewhat on the
easy side. This torque together with very good string rederring have made
Shcimmels a pleasure to tune. I have not found these pins to get loose with
time.

 

Around 3 years ago, suddenly the pins on new Schimmels became very tight,
almost like Baldwins. At least the rederring is still good, but they are no
longer a pleasure to tune. Maybe some techs complained that tuning should
not be a pleasure, and we should suffer!!

 

If the pins are not slipping, just enjoy the tuning.

List,

I've got a 6' +  Schimmel grand in a church which I service, and the tuning
pins have never really felt like they had much torque. I don't want to ca
the block, or start tapping them in, (the problem is not that severe). Could
this be a warranty issue?

Is this a normal characteristic with this brand?

Thanks,

RU/UP
