[pianotech] U1 - stained bass strings

[David Love]

What's wrong with the 2oz hypo oilers with the extra fine needle (the ones
that Pianotek sells), they never break.

I agree...they are fragile.   That's why I bought a dozen.   I haven't had
one break yet...It doesn't take much of a squeeze to dispense the Protek,
unless you want a stream... '-]
