I also have a 1917 Everett as pictured. It didn't sound really well in the lower tenor to the bass transition. I ordered the bass strings from Mapes. For the lower tenor, I used Pscale and modified from plain tri-cords to wound tri-cords. I also put the Ronsen hammers. Just with those changes, the piano came to sound so nice. It has a very rich bass which is amazing for the size. BTW, it has original soundboard and bridges that have no cracks. When I first saw this piano, I thought it was a cheaply made piano because it uses pressure bars instead of agrafs. Boy, I was wrong. I really like the sound and cannot part from this.
