Hi list!

I am going to replace the bass strings in a little Steck grand (I can't =
recall the size), which is remaining in the client's home.  I want to =
add some tenor wound strings as the piano has a very bad case of "tenor =
tubbies" - by memory, the bass/tenor break is at notes 27/28 - too low =
for a piano of this size.  I am experienced in rescalling these strings. =
=20

Question: Do you see any problems with drilling the plate for additional =
hitchpins while the piano is strung and at pitch?  I have not done this =
in someone's home before.  Of course, I will have to discuss it with the =
client first otherwise I think she might freak when I get out my big =
drill and start drilling holes in her piano! =20

Regards,
    Stephen
