Patrick,

Years ago.  What got to me more than the occasional error was the attitude
they gave when confronted with their mistakes.  Now using Arledge.  Not
perfect, but they take responsibility for their quality and fix things
quickly.

half and then the windings got longer and longer until they rode up over the
capo bar, in the first instance, and over the bridge in the second instance.
These were both upright pianos, and I did try switching the order of the
strings which only made things worse. In two other pianos, both grands, the
windings in the bichords were not as closer as the original ones. This
problem showed up in sets from both Mapes and Schaff. Up until this happened
I never had such a problem. I am about to give up and try different makers.
Has anyone else been having a similar problem, and did you wind up
switching.
