The downward pressure of the strings against the bridges is tested to ensure the proper soundboard crown, tone quality, and resonance.
To ensure tuning stability, the structural integrity of the pinblock is assured by testing the upward and downward torque of the tuning pins.
Tuning pins are found to be clean, free of corrosion, and of uniform size. Proper spacing between string coil and plate is ensured.
Strings are free of corrosion, rust, and damage from liquid intrusion.
Construction and geometry of the keybed are checked to ensure proper operation of the action.
