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.

.
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?
