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 ?
