Hi Mr. Goss, Thanks for helping out with this problem. I also wondered whether the bass pins had been driven in too far. However, I assumed that they must have been done that way at the factory since they appeared uniform throughout the bass section. I'm displaying my ignorance here--but what is CA glue and accelerator?

Three repairs 1. restring all strings (too costly?) 2. remove pin of broken strings and use five minute epoxy replace pin and pull up to pitch. Be careful not to drive the pin in too far so that you have the same problem as you had. 3. lower the pitch of the string so that you can remove the string, remove the string and back out the pin three full turns. With the piano on the tipper use thin CA glue and accelerator. Restring and tune. Tap in pin if the coil is too far out. Joe Goss Always on the level and now well traveled! The tool is finally done. Will show at KC
