Likely I'm wrong, but I thought pianos had three strings per note...does it change with the upper strings?daGuru wrote:Piano... 220 < 264

no..when you get into the treble section all the way to the top there are three strings.daGuru wrote:@Hink... Yep.. less strings the higher you go
my baldwin studio has 10 single bass strings
18 double unisons
and the rest are three string unisons.
so that makes about 226 strings

44 x 4 string bass guitars = my choice
Assuming they don’t need a re-string, give it about 30 secs per guitar to tune up = way way quicker than tuning a piano.

I can tune a guitar, so I could theoretically tune forty-four guitars. There's not a chance this side of Hades that I could tune a piano. So I'll take the guitars.
Now that the preliminaries are out of the way. when will the guitars be delivered and how much does the job pay?
