The piano sounds pretty good now, even with the messed up bass strings. I think what I'll do is get a hold of a good down bearing gauge and measure the strings as they are now, then duplicate it. How's that sound?

I'd start with what crown you had to work with in the killer octave while the strings were still on, and take it from there. I expect there wasn't much, if any, which would mean I'd go lightly on the bearing. >A red letter day.

Angles should be pretty simple, but we seem to get everything BUT degrees. Ron N _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
