---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry, just substitute "a high quality instrument" for "Steinway" and I think you'll get what Tom meant. He just mentioned Steinway because we are more likely to run into them. Picking that name to represent quality instruments seems logical to me. I think he was expecting to be flamed because of the idea of maybe leaving in the piano a string of the wrong size. Tom, are you aware that there are universal strings available larger than #1? Schaff has sizes 01 through 06 with outside diameters going up to .194, but they are all single-wound for obvious reasons. I needed to use one only once. It's no fun trying to remove windings of that size to make it fit, believe me. Regards, Clyde Farrell wrote: > Tighten your flame suit collar. Would you do it to a Mason & Hamlin? A > Bosendorfer?
