[pianotech] Strings help needed, please

[bppiano at aol.com]

As you ?or your brother has found out, the piano itself will play just fine, however the ?two notes you mentioned will have a slightly lesser volume. ?The two note involved ?need to have the broken string removed from the piano. ?The size string would be a 15 1/2 ?gauge string probably and the next time the tuner comes to service the piano, he will most likely replace it. ?Piano wire would mak a most effective garroting weapon, so I doubt it would be allowed past the guards and left in the hands of a professional (piano tech that is).

I am in need of some technical information and am 
hoping that someone?might be able to help me.


?


I am writing on my brother's behalf. He is the 
piano tuner at a prison in Ohio and one of the "Yamaha P22" pianos is in need of 
2 new strings which he has informed me are "B5" and "C6."


?


Unfortunately, he does not have any measuring 
equipment to reorder these two strings and has asked me to write to see if 
anyone can send the diameter of each of the two strings and/or any other 
specifications he might need for re-ordering these two strings. 


?


The men there look forward to playing their music 
daily and I would like to help them get back to it.


?


I am not in familiar territory with this request 
but am most sincere. Thank you!
