<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10>Thanks to eve=
ryone for the replies and suggestions. I think you're right in this in=
stance, Keith and Dave P. I decided to go ahead and order the string. =
The supply houses already have the scale anyway, so it won't take much=
time at all.

<BR>As you have already discovered, Dave, attempting to splice in that very =
limited area, with that size bass string core A0 has, and on a M&H grand=

s appearance.
