Aren't all the steel wraps on the low tenor bridge on these? Ron N Ron, I have seen a couple of these Everetts and was under the impression that the wound strings in the tenor were wrapped with aluminum. I came across a piano the other day (an old Strohber upright) that had copper wound in the single and lower half of the double wounds, and iron wound in the upper half of the doubles. The remaining iron wrapped strings were dead. I assumed that someone replaced only half the bass strings at one time. Could that piano have been designed that way? John Voigt
