Hello, all. I tuned a 26 year old model B S&S this morning and found that the top section was about 10c flat. The rest of the piano was close. Last tuning was in October. Pins do not feel overly loose. No issues with bridge or soundboard. Hammers are a little worn but not bad. A few strings had been replaced before I came and one broke during the tuning in October. The building has very stable climate control. I have plans to re-string the top section and dress the capo, but that is on the back burner for now. Any thoughts on what else might be going on here?
TIA - Dave
