strings on deplex

[A440A@aol.com]

<< How important is it to have only three strings on each bump of the duplex  
on 
a D? I restrung a D, and some bumps have 4 strings, some are just barely off  
to one side, but on the next bump. The customer is claiming I ruined her 
piano.  >>

I don't think it matters at all, but if you must, you can move that duplex 
over with some pre-pulling all the strings sideways and then a light tapping in 
the direction you want it to move. There is nothing in the slight lateral 
placement of this bar that will ruin a piano!
