       String seating and stretching are essential,especially in new 1098s 
and Ks.John Patton reccomends stretching the strings with a slotted brass 
tool pushed in and up along the speaking length of the treble strings.I use a 
half inch dowel with a bichord agraffe on one end,with a cut from a hack saw 
to form a groove.It works well,be prepared to do a pitch raise tuning 
afterwards.The results will be less noise,no rings,and a stable tuning.I 
should add that hammer shapeing and travel also need to be addressed when 
trying to "clean up"the treble area.Also tuning hammer technicque comes into 
play here.I like to have my hammer between 10:00 and 11:00 position.In that 
way I am turning the pin more and bending it less.It takes practice and alot 
of patience,but once you get the piano in tune and seated it will stay in 
tune longer than most other brands.         Robin Olson RPT  Wash DC Chapter
