Best Bass String Duplication?

[Will Truitt]

I would be interested in a good supplier, too.  I gave up on Schaff for
single replacements because I would send them measurements that they would
ignore or could not read.  Don't you just love it when you get to the
customer's house, set the replacement string on the bridges and find out
that the winding goes 4 to 6 inches past the agraffe?  I've had multiple
strings that were all wrong in this way from the same ordering, and it has
happened more than once.  And sadly, not just from Schaff either.

I've had really good luck with Arledge Piano wire.  I like their system of
filling out a form with measurements rather than shipping the strings if you
want to keep the piano in service: www.pianostrings.com

I need a single replacement bass string, I have the old string to copy.

Does anyone have a favorite bass string source? I have personally had
buzzing strings from Shaff, and have heard of buzzing strings from Pianotek,
so is there anyone better for similar money? What about turn around time?
