<HTML><HEAD> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2873" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV>Not sure who GC refers to. My recommendation was Ari Isaac. He's in Toronto and listed in the PTG directory. Also, his website is <A href="http://www.pin.ca/ari/default.htm">http://www.pin.ca/ari/default.htm</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ari has been around a long time. He is totally blind yet does everything most any other tech can do, and often better. Amazing.  He usually goes to regional and national conventions. His classes are very worthwhile and he's a nice fellow to get to know.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you were to call him on your string problem, he will likely talk to you himself and try to help. That's been my experience (hammers, not strings).<BR><BR>Alan Barnard<BR>Salem, Missouri<BR><BR><BR>> [Original Message]<BR>> From: <donspiano-service@comcast.net><BR>> To: <tune4u@earthlink.net>; Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><BR>> Cc: <donspiano-service@comcast.net><BR>> Date: 05/19/2006 10:48:49 AM<BR>> Subject: RE: bass string recommendations<BR>><BR>> Hello Alan Barnard, could you give  me the whole name of GC, New to strings, Don Lemoine, Nashua NH, Dons Piano<BR>><BR>><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
