  Subject: Enlivening bass strings


  I encountered a nice, very well-taken-care-of Remington upright last week.  The owner had the original bill of sale and loan papers showing payments, from 1920 or 1924 (can't remember now), when it was bought new in Nebraska.  It had not been tuned in 6 years or so, but had obviously been well-maintained before that--pitch was right at A=440, and it was easy to tune.

  The bass stings, however, were dead.  Can someone point me to a resource for dealing with those strings?  It's not really a candidate yet for restringing, and I don't know that the customer would spring for that.

  Thanks,
  Richard Morgan
