Michael, I don't think Balázs normally reads the list. However, can you send me a detailed description of the issues? I'll write to him in Hungarian and ask him for a response.
A warped shaft seems a rather unusual problem since it is steel and wood movement is generally a more likely problem, unless the instrument has been dropped on the crank end. What are the symptoms? Tangents and strings should not require attention from Balázs in particular, but please describe the issues there as well.
