I have a question I would be interested in hearing some of your
thoughts.  I have noticed in several old small grands that some had
stringing braid and some did not.  Would someone explain why some
companies put stringing braid in and others didn't.  I know what the
braid does, but how important is it in smaller pianos?  When rebuilding
old pianos that did not have stringing braid, do you other tuners put it
in?
