Well I haven't found any problem with *tuning* the little Lindners - they tune up perfectly well and sound quite good for their size. The problem, of course, is the action. The risk in tuning would be that action parts might well break as you're tuning. It's at least five years since I encountered one of them, and the already fragile actions parts in these are now five years more fragile. So I think before atteptning to tune one now, I would very carefully warn the owner of the risk of action parts breaking and that I would not be responnsible for any, if the owner chose to go ahead with the tuning. I recall finxing a damper lever or flange on one by using silicon mastic. Best regards, David. "Concerning the Lindner Irish plastic pianos: don´t even try to service or tune them. These "pianos" are the most worse case scenarios I encountered in my life as piano tuner. And I saw a lot of strange things in that business. Gregor"
