Hello all, I've just joined this forum. I am trying to help select a new Steinway for a church. Question: Has anyone encountered stringing problems on the new Steinway B's? I've seen 5 or 6 B's now and they all have a half dozen or more strings (right string of tri-chord) in the midsection of the piano that bind on and bend past adjacent tuning pins (from the next tri-chord) on their travel down to the agraffes. The Steinway factory service manager told me this is a stringing "characteristic" of the B's, not a problem. He also could not guarantee that I would see any B's without this characteristic if I came to the factory to select a Steinway. I know that older B's have little, if any, off-line stringing. Are there serious concerns regarding equalizing pressure while tuning, strings breaking years down the road or sooner, etc.?
