Interesting post because I was thinking about ordering a full set of bass strings from Mapes . My guess is that the strings you have are defective or not the correct ones for the piano . Did you do a string tracing of the old strings before removal as well as micrometer readings,   Winding measurements etc or did they say they have the scale for that model ? Maybe strings got mixed up and can not be brought up to the required pitch .? What brand and model piano .

It's a Badwin C grand. I sent the orignal strings in. Had to wait 4 weeks before getting them. Ugh....

Although likely more expensive,  GC Grandt, Heller and Arledge might be better choices.

We've recently switched to Heller after getting great recommendations from fellow rebuilders.  Until just recently we have always worked with Arledge here in Nashville, and for many years and have always loved working with his strings, although unfortunately it seems like Arledge may not be doing bass strings currently. Heller order came in fairly quick for coming from Germany, and we really love their tape measure they send 😎

I've heard great reviews from J.D. Grandt too.  Have fun out there!

The replacement strings have the exact same I.D and O.D., I'm now concerned......
