I've seen pianos where the tuning hammer moves as soon as it is released because the pin isn't tight enough in the (cracked) block to withstand the string tension. If the problem isn't terribly severe, it might be bearable or even an advantage to a student tuner, but at some degree of severity it's likely to make the piano useless. One would want to look into this before organizing the friends and the truck. | |
