I indicated in my original post that several times this tuning and on =
previous tunings I have applied a liberal dose of Protek to the string, =
the felt, the agraffe - all to no avail (maybe worked a little less bad, =
but a bad problem still existed - I spent 3 hours tuning that monster =
that was only about 4 cents flat - of course that included crawling =
around looking for buzzes, pondering the sticky string thing, and =
afterward listening to this woman rip through a bunch of Rachmananof =
(sp?) (the whole process was not painful - even 60-year-old tubby bass =
strings don't sound all that bad when you hit them just right and in the =
right order - and my upper tenor section seemed to hold it's tune!).

  Terry,

  I remember someone telling this list that the culprit could very well =
be friction between the strings and it's underfelt. I had a Heintzman =
that was excatly like what you described and I cured it with a somewhat =
generous application of protek on the underfelt.

  Try it out and let us know.

  I tuned a 1940s Baldwin L today. It has always been a nasty piano to =
tune.

  Sounds like we have a good reason to restring. Yes?

  If the customer can afford it GO FOR IT !
