Eric Wolfley, RPT Supervising Piano Technician College-Conservatory of Music University of Cincinnati He doesn't offer different sizes. I tried to use a coupler on F2 on a Baldwin SD Grand. This is the lowest plain wire note, and on this piano it was always the first note to go out of tune. I couldn't figure out why. (The tuning pins are tight, and I seated the bridge pins, straightened wire bends with a brass drift). I thought maybe it had something to do with being the last note on the treble bridge. (?) Anyway, I thought the coupler might help, but the strings are too far apart at the bridge for the couplers to hold. (I asked Scott if he had other sizes and he said no) I wound up using a coupler up at the agraffe, and so far (it's been about three weeks) so good. I think they'd fit bass strings at the agraffe. FWIW, I did use these couplers on a horrid 1975 Everett Studio in a practice room in January. Awful piano that always went badly out of tune in a matter of days. I checked it last Friday, and it sounds reasonable. Certainly good enough for a practice room (non piano majors).
