About a month ago I was tuning a 243 at the local high school just hours before a scheduled concert and an old splice on a treble string failed. I measured the string and discovered that I did not have the right size replacement (I think it was a 15 1/2). Since I had access to an identical little used piano at the school, I borrowed the string from it. I now wonder what I could have done in the same situation had I not had the other piano to scavenge from. Then I wondered about what you guys (the experts......) would have done. I did have on hand sizes 15 and 16 wire. Which could/should I have used.........and why (or why not). Tom Robinson East Tennessee
