<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I pitch raised and tuned this =
piano. It had
some new strings and knots in places and 4 strings broke which I
spliced. I had to order a new wound string and while putting =
it on
yesterday, a string I wasn't even working on broke. The pin was =
too loose
to hold tension on a new string.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question: The piano looks in good =
shape
otherwise (back, action, bridges), should I recommend restringing with =
over
sized pins or not? They have a Steinway A for serious playing and =
this is
the "fun" piano.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the way, the broken strings are most =
all top row
pins. (mouse, I explained to wife)</FONT> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
