If the other strings are dirty (and undoubtedly dead sounding) do replace the pair otherwise the new string and the old string on the same note will sound bad forever. dp David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Allan Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 12:56 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Introducing myself- Steinway pedals, string Thank you for your welcoming words, Dean, Paul, Marc, Tom, David Jim, I put my GPS in Spanish so I would make my ear accustomed to the language ....Gira a la derecha.... Phil, this is a perfect web page to my eyes, simple, to the point. And with proper optimization... I am working on mine. I read all postings regarding this. I will need to remove the pedals of a Steinway M # 234654. Disengage the swivel lock, then... the assembly should come forward? Maybe needs a gentle tap with the hammer from behind? Also, on that same piano, a broken string had been replaced with a universal replacement far from correct dimensions (F2). I think of having one made to exact specifications. Would some of you recommend a specific provider or would just anywhere they make strings suffice? (The original strings are very dirty) Thank you Allan Sutton No virus found in this incoming message.
