Would you do it to a Mason & Hamlin? A Bosendorfer? A Bechstein? A remanufactured Behr Bros? A remanufactured Wissner? A remanufactured Bush & Lane? A remanufactured Weber? Why would you single out a Steinway & SOns? Do you have a Pierce Atlas? Check it out, there are/were more high-quality manufacturers than just Steinway & SOns.

The piano was a Story & Clark (Samick) and is full of false beats in the treble and dead, tubby bass strings. When I mic-ed the broken string, I found that I did not have one that size. It was larger than a #1 Schaff universal replacement. My original plan was to replace the string with a universal and order a duplicate of the original to replace the universal. But not having a universal the correct size, I thought I would just leave it as is, and return ASAP with the dupe. Expecting flames from this one, I'd never do it on a Steinway, honest, Tom Sivak ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
