Schraffed

[Newton Hunt]

While spending a month in the Bosendorfer factory in 1977 schraffing the
strings was SOP for the string winder.  He would pick up a mill bastard file
and scrape it up and down the length of the string two or three times and then
wind the string.

I do not know how it effects tone, but the stringers where twisting the strings
then.
