Hazen,
Why don't you tell the string maker, of the problem you are having. Give =
him a chance to make it right, by supplying you with replacements, at no =
cost.

If he doesn't know, he can't correct it.

Just the other day someone was telling me of a bad string, he had in a =
set, I said did you tell the supplier, he said, no, he hadn't thought =
to.
Regards,

    Pick the exposed wire at the agraffe or bridge end with a guitar =
pick and compare sound of the better ones and the bad ones.  Then add =
additional twists on the bad ones to see if it improves.  You did twist =
at installation, didn't you?  This may or  may not help, but it will =
tell you if it's the string.  I had a 7 ft grand with lousy new bass =
strings.  Putting three full turns on the bad one did wonders.=20

    Let us know=20

  I did twist the strings during installation (one full twist),and the =
worst two strings are the unison strings of the same note.(bi-chord) I =
will try adding more twist Wensday,when I go back and pull the strings =
in for their service,and thanks much for your tip.=20
