I have not seated the strings at the bridge pins after the initial pitch raise ............yet.        I'm going back tomorrow after 2 days for the final tuning.</DIV> <DIV>Thanks much for any comments in advance</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:davespianotuning@earthlink.net">davespianotuning@earthlink.net</A></DIV> <DIV>Dave McKibben</DIV> <DIV>San Diego, CA</DIV> <DIV>858-485-1099</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P></P></BODY></HTML>
