Shortly after I posted my frustrations on CAUT, I sent an e-mail to Donna Ward (the contact person whose e-mail address appears on the Mapes web site) detailing the history of this particular string order. She sent me a very prompt and kind reply offering to credit the mis-made string and to forward my e-mail on to the plant so they could make a third try at it if I so wished. The string arrived today (they do ship quickly!) and was exactly to the specs. I'd given them. Its back in the piano... the students are back in the practice room... and I'm back in my shop trying to figure out how to get all the work done and still see some of the approaching weekend!!
