Yes but that was my point. The bass strings were shot so it's not a fair comparison. A good S&S B with good board and bass strings is a match for at least two uprights. I like uprights but I can'r relate to this comparison as all things being equal because they're not IMHO.</BLOCKQUOTE></FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>

I just tuned a teflon B the other day that would get its lid blown off by many old uprights. Not all that unusual. Killer octave was a good three octaves wide! Tubby bass strings. That didn't leave much. Except for clickity clack, clickity clack.<BR>
