Del, I'm not a piano builder I and don't know much about tensile strength, but maybe their 3-4 twists in bass strings is actually 3-4 half turns. 180 degree rotations instead of 360. 180 degrees could be a twist and 360 degrees a turn. 3-4 twists is actually 1.5 - 2 turns? Where's the nominclature police when you need them?
