<br>
You've got a very unusual piano on your hand. If you do not have a lot of
experience restringing pianos, I would suggest that you do not attempt to
restring this piano. You could be asking for a lot more problems than you
can handle. <br>
<br>
Just my 2 cents worth. <br>
<br>
PS. Who are you, where are you from, and are you a member of PTG?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
