Wurlitzer Bass string breakage.

[Newton Hunt]

Hi, Alan,
      Universal strings are a big compromise at best and at worse can severly
compromise the tone of a good piano.
      That being said the first step is to match the core, this determines
the inharmonicity.  The wrap is matched next and here you have options.  A
smaller wrap reduces tension, a larger one increases tension.  I would go for a
slightly smaller wrap before a larger one.
      Most pianos are poorly designed in the bass department but that is
another post.
      Hope this is helpful.
