Mapes is quite capable of making a good set of strings, as is Arledge or 
Sanderson. The question is making them to what specifications? That's the 
rescaling Terry was talking about.

And, incidentally, why is it more important that the piano sound good for 
the U.S ambassador to Panama than if it was for the widow Iris Flowers from 
Grand Junction, who would be spending the same money for similar 
expectations? I've always wondered about this sort of distinction.
