[CAUT] When to restring...OT 1098's

[Jim Busby]

A few months back Jon and Ron suggested this and I have done it on about 5 pianos. VEEERRRYY GOOD! Rendering is so much better.  It is standard procedure now. Thanks Jon and Ron!

The nasty mid-section strip on the card-board type stuff,
though is a pain to replace!  Any hints on that?

Replace it with a brass half-round. Place felt fore and aft of it;
thick enough to dampen but not press into it causing drag.
