$450.00 Bass strings???????

[David Love]

Dale:

47 strings plus rescaling ($100.00), the total charge was $506.00.  the 
sound is very good.  It is a small Chickering and it's not the perfect test 
for string quality.  I am going to use Sanderson's strings on a Steinway B 
that I'm restringing so I'll have a better sense.  The strings were very 
precisely made in terms of wrap terminations, and the tone was very 
consistent all the way to the bottom.

By the way, congrats on selling the MH.  It was a very nice piano.  You 
can't please everybody so why try.
