Many piano manufacturers put wrapped strings in the low tenor as an
effort to ease into a different sort of tonality produced from wrapped
strings in the bass.  Larger pianos with longer strings seem not to
have such a requirement, provided the last few tenor bridge notes are
on a similar area of soundboard (being a similar distance from the rim,
and ribs also being in similar proximity, and not forgetting sound-board
thickness and wood ring grown width).

Then, all things being reasonably equal, the lowest note on the tenor
bridge should contain the same sorts of qualities as does the highest
note on the bass bridge.  Adding to that, "personal taste" inequalities
in hearing, loose and uneven wrapping -- sit back, pour enough Scotch,
and who cares!

I have written to a "renowned" USA bass string manufacturer in regard
to many questions that have arisen during this discussion, asking they
give me something I can publish in MMD.  Hopefully this will help put
concerns to rest.
