FWIW: I have never loosened bass strings when replacing tenor plain wire - I haven't found it necessary. My recommendation would be to try it without loosening first. Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- I sincerely appreciate all of your responses concerning restringing in the overstrung area. My assistant (aka: dad) is so enthralled with all of this that he ran out and bought some tubing to create our own stringer. (He's a shop tinkerer and I'm sure some of you can relate.) Concerning loosening the bass strings to get them out of the way, would this be a problem on an old piano such as the one I worked on? The strings are ancient and I don't even want to breathe on them if I don't have to. Michelle Smith -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
