Hi group, I was called to tune a ten year old Wurlitzer spinet yesterday and arrived to find the piano almost 100 cents flat. Performed a pitch raise and fined tuned to 440. My question is, I found the tuning pins to be EXTREMELY tight and VERY "twisty", with very little resistance to movement of the string over the upper termination point. That is, once I could get the pin to move, I could vary the pitch 5-10 cents either way by just a gentle pressure on the tuning lever (I am using a Fujan hammer). I'm not comfortable that I left the piano in a stable condition. Any suggestions on how best to get this beast tamed? Thanks, Chuck Raynor Raynor Piano Service Beaufort, SC
