Grin... I see Nossaman is paying close attention to reading here. No he did not design my strings. That would be curious indeed :) That said, the strings I had made were done by a reputable German firm. They were given the original Steinway scale figures and the exacting lengths as they require them. I had the same problem with the set of pure sound strings they made for what seemed to both them and myself the low tension Bluthner scale. I have to figure they know their tension problematikk since they've been at it for quite some time now and have a good reputation. They mention a problem with present day Roslau wire. I wonder if J.D.'s comment about too tight a wind on the loop might be in the picture.
