---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Mark, Agreed, a string by Mapes or Arledge would do a far better job of sounding good. That I used a universal bass string owed more to fact that I had no desire to revisit this very worn and tired old instrument than it did to me thinking that it would actually match up really well. If I ever get called back to tune the piano again, I will replace the string with a more appropriate match. As it was, I didn't want to leave a damper hanging out there when a famous Hungarian pianist was supposed to practice on the piano for a weekend concert...:-( Thanks for the input, Dave In a message dated 10/3/2005 8:05:26 AM Pacific Standard Time, mstowne@cox.net writes: Good morning all.

In support of Mr. Ilvedson's post, I, too, have utilized duplicated strings from Mapes (through Pianotek) for a 1928 Knabe/Ampico 5'1 here at the house. Price was, IMHO, most reasonable and turn around time was just about 2 weeks. They have worked out well and look smashing with the freshly pianted frame. Regards, Mark S.
