Use them as replacements, on clunkers, where the other bass strings are lousy as well. You know the type of piano that was given or bought for $200. Just to keep them going, till they can afford another one. Yes, there are some people that can't afford anything better for a while. ----- Original Message ----- From: Matthew Todd To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2008 11:17 PM Subject: Universal Bass String Question I ran across some universal bass strings I purchased from Schaff about five years ago. Some of them have rust on one or two windings here and there. It's not too bad. There are a few with a lot more than the minimal rust, so I will probably just chuck those. Just wondering if I can salvage any of them for use. A few of the strings have the rust at the beginning of the windings so I will probably be discarding that section anyway when I fit the string in the piano. Can I still use the ones with small blotches of rust here and there? Or better yet, is there anyway I can clean them up? Thanks!
