couple of strings on a Baldwin Acrosonic drop action spinet in a couple of
days. This is a plain wire pair right smack dab in the
middle of the beast at about D#4. A while back a guy at Schaff's gave me
condolences when he heard I was working on a drop action spinet. I know
they are not a fun thing. My question is this: Is this
significantly easier if I remove the action? Or is that too big a
pain? Aby other tips as I approach this challenge?</span></font><font
