[nfbpnotk] stringing

[Shawn Brock]

hello albert, thanks, i understand all of what you said.  perhaps i should 
hav made my question more clere.  i dont hav the bass string for some reason 
2 are broken f sharp 2 and g three and the custamer removed them a long time 
ago.  i would like to just get the messurements for these to strings and 
sind them to the supply house.  i'm wondering if there is a way we as blind 
people can do this.  sighted folks use a digital mycromitor or callipor and 
a mesureing tape.  is there such a device that talks for us that would bee 
accurate?  thanks for the advice and sorry for my lack of clarity with my 
question.
