Hi Ed You know,... I had a 1927 L that had fantastic original strings. Both wrapped and plain Original hammers were retained...for a while. I restrung the piano and it was a disappointment. The disparity in plain wire was quit shocking. Sustain was lacking as was color The bass lost something as well. Its the wire to be sure. Dale S. Erwin www.Erwinspiano.com Custom restoration Ronsen Piano hammers Join the Weickert felt Revolution 209-577-8397 209-985-0990 . It has the original bass strings and they sing. The treble wire is intact, tunes well, and has perhaps 2 false beats in it, total. There are no string rattles. What the hell is the problem that that can't be replicated today?
