sincerely appreciate all of your responses concerning restringing in the
overstrung area. My assistant (aka: dad) is so enthralled with all of
this that he ran out and bought some tubing to create our own stringer. (He’s
a shop tinkerer and I’m sure some of you can relate.)</span></font></p>

loosening the bass strings to get them out of the way, would this be a problem
on an old piano such as the one I worked on? The strings are ancient and
I don’t even want to breathe on them if I don’t have to.</span></font></p>
