	A piano will need to be *re-strung* if the strings become rusty and break when being tuned, if the *wrest pins (tuning pins)* become loose in the wrest plank, or if the iron frame needs to be removed to get access to the sound board. If a wrest plank needs to be re-placed, we advise this to be done on only high quality pianos due to the cost. When a piano is re-strung, we use only the finest quality German strings and wrest pins. A larger sized wrest pin is used to guarantee that the piano will hold tune. The bass strings are hand made to order. While the strings have been removed this allows a perfect opportunity to attend to the iron frame and the soundboard, also to check the wrest plank. The iron frame can be removed and re-gilded along with the cleaning of the pressure bars and screws, and if any cracks are present in the soundboard, these can be repaired by tethering lengths of wood into them. The soundboard can be *stripped* and *re-finished. For any further information about re-stringing a piano, please click here to contact us, or Tel: 01702 612260*.
