Thunky Steinway Monochords

[David Love]

It's basically new.  From the description (I haven't seen the piano yet) I
believe it's just the nature of the scaling at the bottom of the piano.
Many, if not most, of the Steinways I encounter aren't as clear as they
could be down there will benefit from what you describe.  I'm wondering more
about whether just changing the monochords (if that's the route that ends up
being pursued) will create problems with the transition to the low bichords.

  Hi David

  I routinely double wrap all Stwy B  mono chords.  TO my ear it is huge
improvement over the mapes string which is  a OEM part.  Our new B at the
college has a funky sound upon entering the mono section. I have been happy
with the GC & Arledge iterations of this.

  How olds the piano?

I believe the strings have already been changed and the situation has not
improved.  I'm being called after several attempts to remedy the situation.
