<DIV>Hello-</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What is recommended for the cleaning of 8-10 bass strings that have
slight dark discoloration?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These strings are on a new piano and the spots/smudges are
small/short in length- </DIV>
<DIV>at present this is only a visual distraction.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Should I order new replacement strings or are there methods to
clean these strings.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanking you in advance for your kind advice.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
