PETER KESTENS Het Muziekinstrumentenatelier BELGIUM KESTENS.P@Debcom.be List, I tuned today (8/04/97) a GAVEAU grand; a week ago I inspected the piano and the owner asked me to provide the missing strings. I had to take away the second one of the bichords because the tuner who normally tuned this piano didn't do it until now. I have given the strings to a string suppluyer and there he said me that they coudn't effort the tension they need. I' ve ordered a totally new set for the bas section. Now I want to know wether I have to diminish the tension of the non-wounded strings for replacing the bas-section or not? Is it more safe to diminish or can I do it (without taking any risks) without diminishing the tension? Any comments would be gratefull accepted. Peter
