BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally someone with eyes and a brain! That's it for sure!!! And the color in the photo is deceiving - it's not pinkish-red, it is FIRE- ENGINE RED! Sure, the uneven wire wrapping will cause a little bit of sonic disturbance, but I'm quite sure that the intense red-spectrum light rays are causing major disturbances to the upper bass sound waves. Compounding this phenomena is the tendency of the red-spectrum light rays to actually AMPLIFY the small sonic disturbances inherent to the messed-up strings. Good call Ron. I knew that piano was trouble the minute I first laid my eyes on it.
