[pianotech] Little Everett Grands - was: Heller bass strings

[David Love]

That appears to be quite a long portion of unwrapped wire at the top of the
wrapped trichord section.  Is that what you specified?

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.
