Best Bass String Duplication?

[David Ilvedson]

I just used Arledge and had good results.   This was a G. Steck grand with a capo bar in the bass instead of agraffes.   I sent the numbers but they had no similar scales.  I ended up also making patterns, especially the straight line of the capo bar with winding ends for them to work from...

I've had really good luck with Arledge Piano wire.  I like their system of filling out a form with measurements rather than shipping the strings if you want to keep the piano in service: www.pianostrings.com

I need a single replacement bass string, I have the old string to copy.



Does anyone have a favorite bass string source? I have personally had

buzzing strings from Shaff, and have heard of buzzing strings from Pianotek,

so is there anyone better for similar money? What about turn around time?
