<DIV>16 hours a day of Liszt et al. Practice room grands need bushings
every year! I have to restring the top two sections every 3 to 4
years. These pianos get terribly hard use by very serious students.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've always thought and have proved that pvc-e is
totally waterproof. I've dried a glob of the stuff on a piece of glass,
boiled it in water, and nothing happened to it. I wonder if it lets go

that, but it will have to wait till after Reno.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I used wallpaper paste remover, very lightly and they turned loose
nicely. I haven't tried the steam. Paste remover has been my
normal way to do it.</DIV>

<DIV>Last year I did some experimenting with gluing felt to wood.
I was happy enough with the results to use PVC-E for some key bushings
instead of hide glue. It worked well. Today I removed the
bushings to install new ones, and they came out SO much faster and
better than hide glue. The wood of the mortice didn't splinter,
and the sides of the mortices were very clean (no red fuzzy glue
remaining). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just in case I'm not the last one to do this I thought I'd pass it
on.</DIV>
