Hi Guy, Boy that has a ring to it, I'm one of Danny's biggest fans, but for current production Baldwin Grands with SycroTone bass strings I would use the factory made strings. 180 degree twist for mono cords, 360 degrees for the bi cords. When ever I have had to use a custom string due to breakage, they never sound the same, and I end up ordering factory replacements. It is also a lot cheaper. On current production pianos I only use GC strings on Yamahas and that is a hugh improvement in warmth and sustain. Steinway, Bossy, and Baldwin I use the factory suppliers.
