Not sure what you mean by the big houses. I tend to use JD Grandt and have had no problems with mismatched unisons that I hear frequently on Schaff or Mapes strings. Similarly, Arledge I don't see a problem. I'm more referring to the magic of winding versus the importance of correct scaling.

David Love www.davidlovepianos.com We've been using GC for quite a while, and my sense is that the pairs are more equally wound than strings from the big houses; therefore pairs match each other better up the partial ladder. Apart from the scaling, I do hear cleaner unisons. Bob D _____ A strong credit score is 700 or above.
