Allan,

Yes, swivel the Lyre Button (don't ask me why it's a button, but that's what
S&S call it) and the lyre will come forward, sometimes you may need the
assistance of a rubber mallet.  Make sure the lyre stickes don't fall on the
hard floor when you do this.

And yes, replace both strings of the F2 unison, or it will not match.  Of
course, now F2 won't match the rest of the bass, but................

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
