Any tips for replacing plain wire strings, tenor section, under the bass =
strings, with the appropriate bridge section also under the bass strings =
and directly behind the bottom rail on a drop action (sticker wires) =
piano?=20

The customer was nice enough to hold flashlight, hold the wire ends and =
above, etc. No problem getting the lower end down and onto the pin (used =
the ol' safety pin trick) and, actually, getting the strings on the =
bridge properly was not too bad (thin screwdriver and thin needle-nosed =
pliers). But those danged wires want to cross each other every which way =
and tangle up with the stupid dampers ..... ooog. Had them on, under the =
pressure bar, coiled and then ... only when I started tensioning the =
second one did I find out they were still crossed ....

I'd hate to remove & replace a drop action just for one silly string =
....

Good part! This lady (senior citizen) gave me a bag of home made cookies =
on my last visit. This time, she called to her husband, who was =
"helping" me do some surgery on her piano, and me, to come to =
lunch---roast beef, mashed potatoes & gravy, veggies, rolls, cole slaw, =
cranberry sauce, carrot cake, and ice cream. Delicious dinner, =
delightful people.

Now if their 1974 Conover would stop beating me up every time I visit =
...

(Hey David Vanderhoofven: This is the job you referred to me. For the =
people, thanks; for the piano ... well, I'll get even somehow!!! :-)
