This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi all, On Friday I tuned a tuned a circa 1890's Steinway upright. It was about = 15c below A-440. Raised it up as is my custom. I already know it = wasn't designed for A-440. Got to the last octave and blewy a string = broke. The coils had at least 6 turns on them and that a was a life = saver in that I was able to uncoil one and pull the string around to = wind on the other pin. Did that and got it tuned and two notes later = another one broke. Same deal. The six turns of coil saved me again. = Does any one know how long they were so generous in the number of turns = on their coils ?
