I had a customer with one of those long Broadwoods. It was straight strung. The hammers were also leather, and sounded ok. But I had another problem. Some of the tuning pins were very loose. No problem, I thought, I'll just put in larger pins. When I took one out, it was treaded, and about 2 sizes smaller than a 00 pin. I told the customer I couldn't help her. That was about 5 years ago, and haven't heard from her since. Wim Blees RPT St. Louis
