[pianotech] Re-Installing Original Bass Strings

[Ed Foote]

Greetings,
  I would want to keep the bends in their original positions on the bridge, which means an even number of twists...

Repeat the twist that was there at the time of removal. Or. Put all bass strings on with no twist. Check the tone and twist as desired. Generally I have found that a half twkst per string is enough.

I am certainly aware that the various string makers have recommended installation procedures regarding no-twist, half-twist, etc. being applied to a newly-installed string.
