Bass string makers

[Roger C Hayden]

Hi Brian,

I had Dave Sanderson design and make strings for an 1872 Chickering
Concert Grand last fall.  (The same strings for this piano from a common
supplier were rumored to break.)  Anyway they were fantastic.  He
redesigned the whole scale for me.  We had expected to get a nice looking
antique grand that might play.  Instead, between the great strings and
Renner Blues, the guy is now using the piano for recording.
