I got my last couple pairs of bichords from Pianotek. $10.50 per string,
seemed just fine: matched the measurements I gave, and the unisons tune. I
did splurge and go with pairs, as I have been for some time now. I haven't
had problems with the occasional custom bass from Schaff, either. Sets, I
prefer Arledge.
