Hi all, Thanks for the response:)) Perhaps its interesting to add some more information. The instrument is placed in a ... restaurant. Oh yes, the humidity can be very high. I didn't check out the bass bridge. But the piano is "hanging" between the first and the second floor. Twisting the strings will be a dangerous job:)) The owner said to me that it is played practically every evening. But normally l suppose that that can not be the problem. l mentioned that the lowest 4 of 5 strings are still in good condition. But where the bass goes over to the middle, that is the worst part of all. The strings sound if they are damped like there is cloth laying on them. l hope this clears things a bit up. Thanks a lot:)) Wim
