[pianotech] Bass string maker problem

[Encore Pianos]

My experience also.  Last set was perfect, except for one string.  I checked
my measurements for that string.  Oops!

At various times, I've used Schaff, Mapes, Arledge, and J D Grant. I've
never had JDG duplicate anything, as I email him measurements, but I've
never gotten a mislocated wrap, had a loop (or a dozen) break, had strings
make weird noises or rattles. The only time I've gotten a string from him
that didn't fit beautifully was when I screwed up the measurement. Can't say
that for the rest.
