Leveling Strings

[Patrick C Poulson]

Tommy: Actually, I think  a lot of pianos never got sufficient leveling in
the first place.  I do know that after doing a restringing job I usually
have to level the strings several times until they take the bends necessary
at the agraffe to stay put.  Patrick
