My experience is similar to Ron's. JD Grandt has done excellent work for me and continues to be my go to string maker. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com At various times, I've used Schaff, Mapes, Arledge, and J D Grant. I've never had JDG duplicate anything, as I email him measurements, but I've never gotten a mislocated wrap, had a loop (or a dozen) break, had strings make weird noises or rattles. The only time I've gotten a string from him that didn't fit beautifully was when I screwed up the measurement. Can't say that for the rest. Ron N
