List, Tonight I appraised a Hazleton 5' ish grand. I have not seen many of these creatures, but they all have the same characteristic dead bass. I could attribute it to dead bass strings but they have both been "rebuilt" in the last 25 years so it doesn't appear to be dead wires, though it could be. I hadn't given much thought to all of this until tonight when I was asked to re-rebuild one of these things and to try and straighten out several problems. Has anyone else dealt with this brand and this problem? The low tenor has 6 sets of wound strings on it. There is no off set for this portion of the bridge, it just follows along the curve of the rest of the treble bridge. My suspicions are we have a scale problem here. What do you think?
