I received a large number of private help messages to my inquiry about coiling piano strings on tuning pins. THANKS! I have found something that works pretty well for me after some experimentation...and I have now replaced the few broken strings in my old K & B. The new strings do sound a tiny bit 'brighter' than the old, and the piano as a whole does sound pretty nice. A bit more tuning to do and one sticking jack and I'm all (mostly all) done. [one tuning pin, on the left string of a440, is a bit loose, and not holding tune perfectly...guess I will try some of the 'pinblock restorer' stuff on it. Funny thing, every other pin seems tight as can be, after 100 years...] Again thanks, I really appreciate the help.
