ReStringing

Restringing now...starting from the bass and moving up. All the new felt is installed. The brass agraffes are all fully polished to brand new condition and have been lacquered. New tuning pins are nice and tight--this piano will tune up nicely.

Mapes Piano Strings of Tennessee did these bass strings; the new strings are absolutely gorgeous and have wonderful tone. I am rapidly approaching completion...

Did the Mapes strings come recommended? Were they competitive in price, with, say, International Piano Supply?
