<html> Hi Jamie,                 Just a thought for you.   I always prefer to change both of the wound strings of a bi chord, the voicing can be better matched, plus there is less hassel with the unison going out.   The lesser of two evils. Regards Roger At 12:56 AM 8/7/02 -0400, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Did I miss something?  Is this request unusually outlandish?  Did I somehow indicate that I wanted the string pre-tuned, or even thought that such a thing was possible?  I just happen to be a guy who likes to fiddle with stuff, and wouldn't mind the experience of putting the new string in myself.  My understanding is that a new string costs around $10, so unless this understanding is wrong, it's worth breaking another one (or two) to a tinkerer like myself to have the experience of re-stringing it. I know how to tune it to a unison with the other E3 string.  Perhaps I stand to do serious damage to the piano somehow?  If this is the case, by all means, I'll have a registered technician do it.     Confusedly,       jame </blockquote> </html>
