String Splice Time

[Clyde Hollinger]

Richard,

When you replace a bass string, do you order a custom-made string which you install
at a later appointment, or do you use universal replacement strings?

Most often I use the universal replacement, because I hate the look of string knots,
and ordering a custom replacement is pricey unless the piano is worth it.  But I
really have not liked the tone I sometimes get from the universal strings.

Regards,
Clyde Hollinger
