Someone did restring the bass section with oversized tuning pins at some point in time. Anyway, the sustain and tone of the bass section belies description. It was the most gorgeous sound I've ever heard in any piano. And unlike most pianos where you can easily discern a decay rate is taking place, this one just went on forever. Looking back, I wish I had timed it, but then again, I would never have gotten around to tuning it. Next time out, I'll make it a point to do so.
