Ok. Add in opening up the V-bar and installing a harder string bearing surface and removing the tuned duplex counterbearing bars to increase the string termination angles and shorten up the duplex string length.

The treble is a disaster! All kinds of metallic sounds. Voice it down, and it doesn’t make enough sound. A former tech said the termination under the frame of the treble is the problem, and the old equipment wasn’t making good, crisp frames at that time. Attempts to correct it failed.

Richard Cromwell Pianotek Supply From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Mckeever, James I Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 4:40 PM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: [CAUT] Steinway D We own a D, which was built in 1972, and is a total lemon. I am thinking that I want to surplus it, because if it is rebuilt I can’t be sure it will be a good piano. I would welcome any opinions on this!
