I remember mention in the PTJ about twenty years ago, possibly during Jack Krefting's stinit as editor, mention of a Baldwin R&D experiemnt with sloppy coils. One piano was strung up with rediculously poor coiled, and the workers observed it for tuning difficulty and instability. No difference. One might question why a factory would be interested in such a question but at elast they never changed any factory procedures based on the answer. I can look this up from my long shelf of old Journals, if anyone would like. Bill Ballard, RPT New Hampshire Chapter, PTG "We mustn't underestimate our power of teamwork." Bob Davis
