Pressure
Bar</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I will be stringing an upright in the next few days. I have the =
pressure
bars off. Seems to me that it would be a lot easier to string up the =
plain
wire section, leaving the tension fairly loose, and installing the =
pressure
bars after the strings are on - would be much less restrictive than =
dealing
with the short segment of wire protruding from under the bars if they =
were
installed before hand. What do others do? Which way works =
best?<BR><BR>Terry

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I always take the pressure bar off (taking =
note of its
height first, of course), then put it back on after the thing is =
strung,
strings still being quite loose so I can get the pressure bar set to =
the
correct height. Then chip to pitch, straighten and space =
unisons,
etc. </DIV>
<DIV> Don't know what "other way" you're talking =
about --
you mean stringing with the pressure bar already in place?
Why?! And what short segment of wire "protrudes from under =
the
bars"?</DIV>
