Hello all, I have a customer with a Steinway upright-model V. I have been tuning this instrument for 20 years, no problems, but the last three or four tunings have been problematic in the 5th/6th octave. No change immediate change in pitch until the tuning lever has gone too far. Almost as though string has bonded to the bridge, but there is no damp and the piano and strings are in excellent condition. Went back today after nine months, It had held the tuning very, very well up to the alto section octave then all gone haywire. Is this characteristic of a model V? although, its always been okay up until about two years ago. Any ideas??? thanks Lee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
