In my limited experience: 1. No, the last one I restrung was a 20 year old 225 that got water in it in a storm. I got the bass strings from Arledge and they sound fantastic. 2. Not as far as I have found, however I only take care of three recent ones. The others are all in the 1890's to 1920's range and have been restrung.... --Dave New Orleans On 3/26/12 9:17 PM, Leslie Bartlett wrote: > > Actually two. > > 1.
