Hi James,

Have you purchased this brand of Piano before with no problems or is this the first time you have dealt with this brand of piano?

  Dear members:

   

  I have recently purchased several new pianos and discovered during the initial tunings what I believe to be minimal tuning pin torque. The pins feel "spongy" and difficult to set. Is there an industry standard for pin torque, and if so, what should that torque value be in inch pounds? Any data on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

   

  Sincerely,
