This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello Ron and List - answer to Alan Forsyth's Q's 1. This was as original. I don't use lever - only 'T' no 'fit' problem = there. The coils are, of course, under the kneb/becket. 2. Yes and I did. Although my environment doesn't let me pull the plate = there seems no problem with the S/bd. I checked with a v.long straight = edge. I still have curvature. Amazing!=20 Michael G.(UK) ----- Original Message -----=20 From: alan forsyth=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2005 7:20 PM Subject: Re: Restringing the Middle section of Michael G's S&S 'A' Two questions; Why so many coils? My lever tip will not fit properly with the coils = so high. Were you not supposed (or requested from down under) to check the = curvature of the soundboard first?

The wrest pin punch with "distance stop" of a cocktail stick = taped to the punch. Also shows the long-nosed pliers used to crimp in = the kneb. 2. That punch in action. 3. The small vise-grips hold the hitch bend in position whilst = cranking the string on the wrest pin. 4. The hardwood dowell with round head screw guide with wrest pin in = and crank ready to put six coils on. French chalk is used to ensure the = pin does not react jerkily to tuning. My string maker, Gregor Heller, advises me to "get those bass = strings on pdq. In manufactur they are under tension and increase their = lenght by 8mm. Left un tensioned for any length of time results in poor = tonal quality. Right now they are hanging in a bunch from the workshop = roof. That's all for now Michael G.(UK) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
