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?
