univ. bass strings

[Barbara Richmond]

Terry,

May I second the opinion that you *will* get a better result by having the
strings duplicated.  You might consider it an exercise in maintaining good
mental health, too.  In my opinion (even if it is a spinet!), universals are
*not* fun--especially those heavy ones!
