---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi, Today I had to tune an older console Chickering,and over pulled it 4 cents,as it was below standard pitch.I satrted pitching it from AO,with my accutuner,tuned a couple of notes,and bamm,a broken string.A few more notes,another broken string,and another.I let the pitch down first,even used a lubricate around the hitch pins,and on the coils.I have never felt a string respond in this manner,as,I would let the pitch down,and it would go down smooth.But as soon as I tried to bring it back up,it wouldn't budge,and if it did,bamm.Even a half step low,it still would not come back smoothly,also this was in the low bass only.Has anyone ever run across anything like this.I have been tuning since the seventies,and have never had this kind of problem.The strings were dead sounding,and he decided to restring the bass,thank goodness,as I was about stumped.When I went to take off the bottom string,it broke at the coil.
