[pianotech] wrong wound string

[Mike Spalding]

  Brian,

There may very well be a workable method to repair this string, but why 
open that can of worms? The party responsible for the error needs to 
receive effective negative feedback - how else can they learn? And you 
need to keep the responsibility for the quality of the string where it 
belongs - in THEIR lap, not yours. If we all just silently fixed our 
supplier's mistakes, they'd really be justified in saying "Gee, we've 
never had that problem before!"

just my 2c
