It looks like I'll be financially able to restring my piano based on prices I heard several months ago, but I wanted to check on current prices. What I want to know is: What's the current price (if I order through an RPT that I know) of: a set of bass strings (I heard Mapes are good, what other good ones are there?), a set of tuning pins (probably 3/0 or 4/0 - according to the inch-pounds torque test (the little-finger-hitting-hammer-method) outlined in Randy Potter's book, my pins are in the ballpark of 40-70 pounds or so, 12 sizes of treble wire (what's a good brand? I've heard names like Mapes, Roslau, etc.)? Also, if I still have enough after that, what's the current rate to have rescaling done, and the current price on Ronsen or Renner 14lb upright hammers (27-note bass)? -- Stephen Airy stephenairy@fastmail.fm -- http://fastmail.fm - No WWW (Wait-Wait-Wait) required
