I don't know whether I should have Mapes or Schaff make the strings. I think Schaff is cheaper, but maybe not so much so. What do you all think? -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Delwin D Fandrich Sent: Saturday, July 19, 2003 1:31 PM To: Pianotech Subject: Re: Baldwin How old was the Baldwin M? Did it have vertical hitches? If so, welcome to the wonderful world of SynchroTone strings--the core and wrap sizes tend to jump all over the place. Hence, so does inharmonicity and the harmonic structure of the strings. It's not really random, it just seems that way. These pianos are a good reason to work on one's aural tuning skills. Especially in the bass.

I brought my Sat lll along just for the occasion. Everything went fine with the tuning until I reached the first single string in the bass. I put it where the Sat said to put it, but it didn't sound right. My brother has a better musical ear than I and said it sounded sharp. Aurally, it was tuned 6:3 as it should, but there was a strong beat higher up. That piano and my brother were not satisfied until I tuned those last 10 strings 12:6! Can you imagine? Have any of you ran into a similar situation? It sounded good that way, so that's the way it stayed. Richard ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
