[CAUT] Plummet stone was Steinway or Forgery?

[reggaepass at aol.com]

Anyone (else) use Scotchbrite for cleaning treble wire?  It does get them clean, and leaves a lot less residual matter behind than the eraser-like thingee.

Hi Marcel,


He mostlikely  is rubbing the exposed surface with 
the stone to removw rust pockets. The supply houses use to cary a rubber eraser 
impregnated with grit for this.


I just use my brass seating rod as with it one usually 
does not need to remove the action.

Joe, I did google it and found things that couldn't apply to 
  string polishing.

Excuse my ingnorance, but what is a plummet stone? And how do 
    you actually use it to improve on old pianos 
    strings?

> Guitar strings wear out fast, and need to 
    be replaced frequently. Now there is a lot more contact with the strings in 
    the case of a guitar, but one also can dramatically improve the sound of a 
    piano by rubbing out worn strings with a plummet stone. Stringing alone can 
    be very time consuming at an institution filled with practice rooms that 
    have pianos we cannot tune due to pin block wear flanked by pianos that need 
    action jobs.
