[pianotech] Piano behavior

[David Boyce]

It's far quicker and easier to use a bottle with fine nozzle with 
Protek, rather than to re-pin.  One has to make choices in these matters 
and the choice made depends on a number of factors, not least the 
quality and age of the piano, and of course the economic circumstances 
of the owner.

In a fairly new concert grand one might made a decision different from 
that made for a clapped-out old cheap upright that was pretty poor even 
when brand new.  Taking out the action and attempting to re-pin can lead 
to all sorts of additional problems in a rickety old action with flanges 
prone to splitting, and perished bridle tape ends etc.

Best regards,

David.
