Universal Bass String Question

[jrpiano at win.eastlink.ca]

Use them as replacements, on clunkers, where the other bass strings are lousy as well.

You know the type of piano that was given or bought for $200.

Just to keep them going, till they can afford another one.

Yes, there are some people that can't afford anything better for a while.

  Subject: Universal Bass String Question


  I ran across some universal bass strings I purchased from Schaff about five years ago.  Some of them have rust on one or two windings here and there.  It's not too bad.  There are a few with a lot more than the minimal rust, so I will probably just chuck those.  Just wondering if I can salvage any of them for use.  A few of the strings have the rust at the beginning of the windings so I will probably be discarding that section anyway when I fit the string in the piano.

  Can I still use the ones with small blotches of rust here and there?  Or better yet, is there anyway I can clean them up?


  Thanks!
  Matthew
