Wire Size

Light fixturesHi Dave,
Does this mean then that certain brands of pianos need that brand of string?  I'm curious.

  Joe:

   

  I've been doing this work for 33+ years and while I used to have universal bass strings I haven't for about 25 years.  What do you use them for?  (i.e. what kind of piano do you hate so much that you use universals on it?)

  It is best to invest in the Tools of the Trade. First: a good micrometer. Second: Order the 1/3rd pound coils of wire, (with the Brake) Third: A complete set of Universal Bass Strings. Anything less, is not professional, IMO.

  Since Money is always an issue, I'd suggest the Micrometer First, (borrow wire from your Mentor).
