question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi All,</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>I'm rebuilding a "26 Steinway M and I just received my
bass strings. I'm not going to get to that part of it for some time(like
a month or two). Question is; Is it bad for the strings to stay coiled up in
the box, or should I get them out and hang them straight of lay them down
straight? I usually get strings right when I need them and never thought about
it until now.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Thanks!</FONT>
