Hmmm, I'm trying to remember about bass strings. It's not often that they are marked, as most of the typical nodes on a "D" would be out of reach (unless the player is 7'6"). In trying to get my brain to recall it seems some White Out has been used on bass strings but if it is thick enough at application, it won't run and get between the windings. I don't know. Of course the other thing that occurred to me from your note is why does he have to prepare both pianos? dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 3/10/2003 at 7:19 AM Conrad Hoffsommer wrote: >At 07:13 3/10/2003 -0600, you wrote: >>Conrad: >> >>Around here the only thing people use for node markers is a touch of >>"White Out" (remember from the old typewriter days?).
