Bass string makers

[John Lillico, RPT]

Brian,

Another one I've never seen advertised is "G C Piano Co." in Toronto at 416-755-7109. The chap's name is Danny. The clarity and precision of a set I bought some years ago for a Heintzman upright was just perfect. The guy is still in business so there may be others on this list who purchase from him. If others can endorse my belief, then you'll be dollars ahead buying Canadian, too!
