Del, Richard,

If it were a matter of establishing terminology to supposedly 
eliminate confusion in the piano industry, non-overstrung would 
simply be the best description, no ifs and or buts. It embraces all 
of the following:

Straight strung
Flat strung
Fanned strung

And other than comprising more syllables and a hyphen, it seems 
hardly less inconvenient to use.

(Straight strung works for me until Council decides otherwise  :-)
