---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Barbara, Had a Kimball like that, that also had some slightly loose pins in the low tenor cluster. They had enough space so I could tap the bottom (right) pin in a bit, and that freed-up some of the upper pins. Tapping the middle pin in a little gave me three planes of string height off the plate. Just about the thickness of the string, though. Not really a lot. Didn't always help when there was a sizeable deflection sideways. I have used Protek on the strings, with fair results. Especially when there is under-string felt crammed in that little space. Seems to help the strings render over the felt. Then again, a muggy day out here is about 24%RH. May make a difference. Some of the overlapped strings I've seen didn't respond to any manipulation at all. Just had to use BFFI, and hope for the best.
