William, Gregor Heller will surely make any basstrings you want www.hellerbass.de I once learned from an old factory chief that when iron wound string became dumb you should just take down the tension to about zero and then tune them up again. It actually worked on a piano I tuned. Aras "William R. Monroe" <pianotech at a440piano.net> skrev: Hi folks, How about iron wound strings? I've a client with a rather old Baldwin that has iron wound strings, in need of a new pinblock/strings, etc. The client is interested in keeping the strings iron wound and I've never replaced irons wound with copper wound. Are there pitfalls to be aware of? What kind of tonal difference would one expect if we were comparing new iron to new copper? I'd also be interested in arguments in favor of and against keeping them iron. Many thanks, William R. Monroe --------------------------------- Stava rätt! Stava lätt! Yahoo!
