Remedial String Leveling

[Bruce Gibson Piano Technician]

Barabara and Phil,

I've had fairly good results by pulling up slightly, and then "stroking" out
away from the agraffes as I pull up. I don't pull up with a lot of force. I
do the same when I am pushing down on strings.

Maybe this is not what others do, but it seems to work for me.

Cheers,

Bruce Gibson
