[pianotech] New string broke twice

The end of the adventure is at hand. As embarrassing as it is, and oh - it
is - I measured the wrap diameter wrong, then when it broke, reordered the
same thing thinking the string was flawed. Naturally, it broke. I then
learned how to calculate the correct string.  I went back to the piano
Friday and discovered that the diameter of its counterpart's (that is, the
other string of the bi-chord) winding, was exactly what I had calculated it
should be - that is - .090". I am quite confident that this string will be
the perfect string, and also that 3 times is a charm.

I apologize to lead all involved on a wild goose chase, but am heartened by
the learning of a new skill.
