I have used universals for way longer than 10 years and carry 40 different sizes in the car with me 24/7, as well as more hanging in the closet in my office. No tension involved whatsoever. Under no circumstances that I can ever recall have any of these strings been dead sounding upon installation. And the ones in the van have been exposed to the changing outside temperatures that occur each season year after year. Sometimes I really have to question some of the statements given on this list as having any authoritative value, but rather they appear as a whim only. Wondering how anyone who doesn't have actual experience with some of the subject material tossed around in this forum can even begin to know who to believe. And that includes me as well :-) Holiday Cheers, Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
