Just a wild guess: Maybe after the piano was chipped & had received several tunings "Quality Control" decided that the set of bass strings was bad (bad tone -- contaminated? loose windings? sloppy workmanship?) so they ripped the 1st set off, and installed a new set. Now they're "behind schedule", so it got shipped right out the door and straight to your neighborhood, and sat around a year until you got involved with it. My best guess, anyway. Patrick
