I had a similar experience like yours with a Mason & Hamlin Grand 
just above the bass/tenor break. Didn't save the old one and any 
Universal ones I tried would pull up to pitch without breaking.

My memory says I was able to have Mapes cross reference a Steinway M 
with the same basic string scale (two bichords above the break).

If you can't do that, best suggestion I have for you is to remove the 
other string and send it in for duplication (2x) and explain your 
particulars.

The note will just have to be inop for the duration.

Good luck,
