Stainless Steel Strings

[rachmad]

Does anyone play a piano with Stainless Steel Strings? I was intrigued by this site:

And also I understand that the Stuart Piano has Stainless Steel wound bass strings. Otherwise I am interested if anyone has any knowledge to give on this subject.

I have heard technicians say that they improve the sound of some pianos, making them sound "bigger" than they are.

They are about 25% more expensive, require care in installation (because they break more easily), and are not suited to high-tension scales (because of their lower breaking strength).

Yes, you must match plain wire stainless strings with bass strings with a stainless core.  I don't remember who makes those bass strings.  And then you must leave a note for the next technician somewhere, so that they replace any broken strings with the same kind...
