Count the hitch pins. That will tell you if they are wound bi-chords or plain tri-chords. The dampers should tell you also. dp David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Noah Frere Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 9:07 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] bass or plainsteel strings? Hello all, this may be something that can only be done at the piano. The Currier Studio is missing F3 and F#3, and since that's at or very near the break I don't know whether to install steel or copperwound universal strings. The client has informed me that they are in the treble section and that the string to the right is steel, but that the string to the left is copper. The appointment is at 1 today. If the broken strings are not in the piano I guess I can call Schaff with the Serial # and perhaps they can tell me. Any thoughts? -Noah -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://ptg.org/pipermail/pianotech.php/attachments/20090715/2329e1de/attachment.htm>
