Hello Michael.

Thanks for advise.  That cleaning was a joke.  I too did this on my very =
first restoration project, and of course will never do it again.  But =
this makes me think about something interesting to distinguish :=20
there is the dead, tubby sound as opposed to the lively, normal bright =
sound
and there is a normal bright sound as opposed to a normal bright sound =
with extra singing upper partials on forte playing.
My goal would be to control just those extra upper ziiing, if possible =
not touching the timbral shape of the note.

Best regards.

St=E9phane Collin.

  Hello Stephane
  Someone on the List already in great difficulty thru' cleaning 10 year =
old Bass strings - they've gone dead and tubby sounding he said. I =
wouldn't advise cleaning bass strings at all - just opens a whole can of =
worms. Reason is the stuff (if it's liquid) gets into the interstices of =
the copper covering and cruds up the core.
