It had been restrung 'on the cheap' somewhere through a music store. How do I know? Beckets weren't squeezed in and the wound strings on the tenor bridge were probably too much= bother and too much expense so they just used plain wire :-(   (sm= all Stieff grand). But the real find was the refinishing. The entire inner rim was covered in green felt! When I opened it up, I wasn't sure whether to tune it= or shoot craps :-) Ken Jankura RPT Fayetteville PA </BLOCKQUOTE> Hey, maybe we can come up with a new temperament.
