David Boyce said: "This arrangement of strings and tuning pins in the bichord section of the 1880s Bechstein upright of friends of mine, does not strike me as one of their design triumphs...." Best regards, David, I've looked at the photos and I fail to see what the problem is. I do see that the piano strings and pins have a bit of rust on them. And, several strings have been replaced. The distance from the termination to the tuning pin is a bit much, but should not be a "problem", in my estimation. The use of Upright Agraffes is a good one in my opinion. So??? What's issue with the design? What am I missing? Regards, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I
