<HTML>In the D I mentioned earlier, where I unbraided the hi= gh tenor, I just rolled up the braid next to the plate strut, rather than cu= tting it away, in case we changed our minds. As it turned out, I did put one= or two unisons back. Anyway, two years later the piano was moved out temporarily for repairs to t= he stage. I got a call some time after its return, saying that a couple of t= enor notes didn't sustain quite as much as they used to...Any guesses where = that leftover braid was? Bob D </HTML>
