Although, it will work = most of the time on most Olde Uprights and Grands, there is always the exception. = This technique is archaic, to say the least. There are better ways. The 32% = in the upper treble will most likely get someone in a world of hurt! Most = strings, in that area, are already at/above 50% of their breaking strength!!! You = raise it another 32% and strings will break, IMO. I've done some studying on the = subject and wrote an article for the PTJ, in Dec. 1999.</DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.<BR>Captain, Tool Police<BR>Squares R I</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
