Sarah: Are you sure about those measurements? If all the tenor and treble
strings are the same diameter, then who ever did the restring job did a
grossly incompetent job. The wire should graduate smaller and smaller in
size as you go up the scale. No wonder the treble is not as responsice as
you like.  This piano needs to be restrung properly.  There are charts and
guides for specific brands and models of pianos.  At this point you will
need to consult an experienced rebuilder and have an appropriate stringing
pattern calculated for you.
Good luck with this instrument.  Patrick Poulson, RPT
