It's basically new. From the description (I haven't seen the piano yet) I believe it's just the nature of the scaling at the bottom of the piano. Many, if not most, of the Steinways I encounter aren't as clear as they could be down there will benefit from what you describe. I'm wondering more about whether just changing the monochords (if that's the route that ends up being pursued) will create problems with the transition to the low bichords.

TO my ear it is huge improvement over the mapes string which is a OEM part. Our new B at the college has a funky sound upon entering the mono section. I have been happy with the GC & Arledge iterations of this. How olds the piano? Dale I believe the strings have already been changed and the situation has not improved. I'm being called after several attempts to remedy the situation. David Love davidlovepianos at comcast.net Dale Erwin--Piano Restorations Modesto, Ca.
