Just email the specs to Arledge. That price is pretty typical but I think they go down in price the more you order. Mapes takes a different set of specs: loop to start of winding, loop to end of winding. I guess they don't like to calculate for stretch. If you order from a piano for which they have the scale I don't think they pay attention to the measurements.

What are they charging you for both strings? Personally, I like to use Arledge, for bass strings but he's slow and doesn't like to take measurements over the phone...so for the occasional string Mapes is very efficient...
