[CAUT] caut Digest, Vol 1088, Issue 38

[Paul T Williams]

Hi List,

I am fairly new as a CAUT (o.k. I'm greener than green!)  I have a 
questionfor you:  In my private practice days, I would install bass 
strings as soon as I received them.  Now, a dear patron of our music dept 
has donated a potentially beautiful Steinway L (cir 1932), and when 
de-stringing I discovered it desperately needs a new pinblock.  I had 
already received the parts and bass strings needed for the restoration. 
Since my shop is not equipped for "open heart surgery" like pinblock 
installation, I will be having a rebuilder off campus complete this 
proceedure and I will do the rest.  The question: Do I leave the bass 
strings coiled up in the box, or should I let them hang straight with the 
wrapping left on them?  It may be a couple of months until the first stage 
is completed.

Thanks for your response.
