Should a good string maker be able to determine if a wrong measurement is supposedly given for a custom string set?
The set had all the windings uniform at the tuning pin end. However one pair had the windings half way across the bridge. There were two other pairs that had one of the pair with a winding 1 mm from the bridge.
When a computer is designing the set, wouldn't these errors have been noticed?
I contend that this should have been noticed by eyeballing the set, and querying the measurements.
Just wondering what other peoples take on this is.
Unfortunately, I did not keep a copy of the submitted measurements.
