List, I have often wondered something and was reminded again of that something by a 1909 Hardman grand piano I picked up last week. Occassionally, in running across older grand pianos like this, there is evidence that someone has spray? painted the strings gold in the tuning pin area. Even the coils of the strings are gold colored. So my wondering is: How in the world does someone get the coils of the strings gold colored, but nary a speck of gold paint on the tuning pins themselves?
