"This arrangement of strings and tuning pins in the bichord section of 
the 1880s Bechstein upright of friends of mine, does not strike me as 
one of their design triumphs...." 
Best regards,
 
David,
I've looked at the photos and I fail to see what the problem is. I do see
that the piano strings and pins have a bit of rust on them. And, several
strings have been replaced. The distance from the termination to the tuning
pin is a bit much, but should not be a "problem", in my estimation. The use
of  Upright Agraffes is a good one in my opinion. So??? What's issue with
the design? What am I missing?
Regards,
Joe
