Hey Allan, I've been using www.Pianophile.com for bass strings for many years. Most of the time, the replacements are of good quality. I would measure the string when you receive it just in case the dimensions got mixed up over the phone, etc... I agree with David that you should replace the pair in order to avoid uneven tone.

Phil, this is a perfect web page to my eyes, simple, to the point. And with proper optimization. I am working on mine. I read all postings regarding this. I will need to remove the pedals of a Steinway M # 234654. Disengage the swivel lock, then. the assembly should come forward? Maybe needs a gentle tap with the hammer from behind? Also, on that same piano, a broken string had been replaced with a universal replacement far from correct dimensions (F2). I think of having one made to exact specifications. Would some of you recommend a specific provider or would just anywhere they make strings suffice? (The original strings are very dirty) Thank you Allan Sutton No virus found in this incoming message.
