Shawn No matter what you do to the one or two of the bass strings, they are not going to sound like the rest of them. If this guy is going to use the piano for recording, I would suggest a whole new set of bass strings. Contact Jim Arledge on how to make a pattern, so the owner of the piano will not be without the use of the piano for more than a day or two.

I know we had an insightful article in the Journal some time back about restoring tone to bass strings.? Apparently some of my copies of the PTJ were lost in my move back to Cincinnati, so?I don't have what I need when I need it.? The problem strings are just a few bychords and the piano is an old Smith and Nickson art case.? The fellow who bought it got a heck of a deal and it don't need a lot of work.? We have to take care of these bass strings though.? He will be using it in a professional recording studio and tubby bass notes just won't do.? So other than the obvious?turn and role what would any of you recommend?? ?
