This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, I just picked up a Broadwood grand, 1882, 7'2",Rosewood, one diagonal and one longitudinal bar,underdamper as well as a curious "gunmetal harmonic bar" found where a capo tasto bar normally is. This piano is in absolutely original condition- pins wire cloth etc. It needs minor refinishing and cleaning only. Now it has somewhat rusty strings and I would like to restring it, but it also has the infamous screw type oblong head pins and I fear that the tuning torque would be too low if I attempted to reuse these. I am concerned to preserve the original state of this piano as with all the 19thC pianos I have seen they rarely have original cloths etc, and these are critical to setting up the actions. This piano is to be sold eventually and if I dont replace the pins, someone else probably will as few techs have the necessary tuning wrench oblong tips. Any opinions?
