How about when rather than the usual left, center and right strings =
being wound around the top, center, and bottom tuning pin, respectively, =
the left, center and right strings are wound around the center, left and =
bottom tuning pins, respectively.

Not only is it difficult ot set properly, it really throws you for a =
loop when you turn that darn pin a half-tune with no change in pitch!

(Sorry, no answers for you.)

  Subject: Overlapping strings


  Hey all,

  Gone are the days when I only worked on good pianos!  A lot of good =
techniques have come along since I was on maternity leave.  I've checked =
the archives for the subject of Protek on strings and read a great deal, =
but didn't see this particular case mentioned:

  This past week I tuned a Cable Nelson console which suffered from a =
case of strings that overlap in the tuning pin section, making it a tad =
difficult to set unisons (or anything else for that matter).  You know, =
you get one string set, tune the next, and it throws the previous one =
off again.  Grrr.  Would it help to dab a bit of Protek on them?  Would =
it be too risky being that close to the pinblock?  Has anyone done this =
before?

  Thanks for your help.

  Barbara Richmond, RPT
