There are no "best" bass strings and there's no magic about a bass string. A competent string winder who pays attention to lengths will produce a good set of bass strings provided you give them a good scale. Arledge and JD Grandt are my choices for care in winding and are the two most accommodating for provided scales. They will also run scales if you ask them. Both do quality work. GC is fine if you like his scales and if you don't have any complaints.

The new Bolduc pinblock is nearly completed and I want to put very nice bass strings on it. I would like to get your collective opinions of the best bass strings on the market today. This is going to be an excellent piano for one of our piano faculty. Thanks for your input. Paul T.
