(And I now so regret not keeping >the old string after splicing didn't work.) > >Dorrie Bell >Boston, MA I had a similar experience like yours with a Mason & Hamlin Grand just above the bass/tenor break. Didn't save the old one and any Universal ones I tried would pull up to pitch without breaking. My memory says I was able to have Mapes cross reference a Steinway M with the same basic string scale (two bichords above the break). If you can't do that, best suggestion I have for you is to remove the other string and send it in for duplication (2x) and explain your particulars. The note will just have to be inop for the duration. Good luck, Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
