I am about to get my first set for my Hamburg = S&S "A" from Gregor Heller. Regards Michael G.(UK) ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Erwinspiano@aol.com=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 1:34 AM Subject: Arledge Bass strings List Speaking of strings, I've had the pleasure now of using about 6 = sets of the Arledge strings & I like them very much. I like the = neatness of the wraps etc. But as much as this I find the tone color of = the scaling a bit darker thru out but I find it especially refreshing = in the top of the bass scales where typically many makers get a bit thin = & whiny sounding which I believe is a tension problem. I haven't checked but I'd guess at a bit heavier scaling being = employed which, in my limited scaling experience gives a darker tone = with more power. IE the Old 1920's stwy L scale in the region of notes 20 - 26 were = scaled toward the 70% of breaking strength & they sounded awesome. When = on occasion I have replaced sets where the tension was reduced in this = area the tone suffers greatly. ON having it corrected the tone came = back. I'm not finding this weakness in the Arledge strings at present. I'm interested in any ones feedback be it objective or subjective. Cheers Dale Erwin Oh & I like personal service, southern hospitableness & a can do = attitude. !!!!!!!!! Erwins Pianos Restorations=20 4721 Parker Rd.
