Bass Wire Replacing in Bush & Lane Grand

Greetings, All:
This message is more of an opinion gathering than anything else. We have begun the restoration process on our 1926 6' 6" Bush & Lane Welte (Style 75 in Hepplewhite case) and thought we would post inquiring if anyone has been particularly impressed with bass wires they have installed as of late. A tremendously overbuilt piano with a VERY robust bass (even with original strings and worn, hardened, grooved hammers), it really is an instrument that deserves the best.
We welcome any of your success stories! If you have had any unpleasant experiences on this topic, as a courtesy, feel free to respond off list. We may be emailed at
keithh010@yahoo.com
or
jukejunkie@earthlink.net
.
Thank you,
Keith Hannah & Kurt Morrison
Tacoma, WA
