My guess is that the piano migth have had too much bearing before. This could have happened if somebody had restrung it in the past. Check the bridge marking for the string gauges and compare to the diameters of the strings.

Indeed, when unstringing, the hole load on the board decreased, but then, the board going up, the load of the remaining strings was larger than before (or not ?). So when restringing, should I aim for more or less overall downbearing ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
