 List 
  It must be my month for old relics.First an 1880 bechstein, 1870 9 ft 
steinway ugh. 
  However I just took in this amazingly well preseved piano for some light 
rebuilding. ie. strings ,shanks hammers, dampers etc. The board and bridges in 
remarkably good condition with power & sustain. The down size is that it has 
the screw in damper wires & I must remove them to string & replace the felt. 
What does one do other than spending half a day unsrewing the bloomin thingees?

One takes one's wire cutters and one cuts the bloody things off. Then one 
makes a new tray and gets rid of the things.

     Thanks for the imense help.grin Hope I can reciprocate sometime
