Hello everyone, I'm new to this list, and I should first say that I'm not a piano technician. This is my problem: I want to change the bass strings on my piano, but the original ones are wound with iron or steel, not with copper. So my question is, would copper-wound replacement strings need to have the same diameters or different ones? Since copper has a different weight from iron, different diameters could be needed. How could the new strings be calculated? The piano is a 2 meter long Bechstein, probably from 1887 (serial. nr. 18700). You can see some pictures of it on my website. Thanks you! __________________________ Calin Tantareanu http://calintantareanu.tripod.com __________________________
