Hi Scott, I started to measure the scale with the intention of using PScale to rescale it. Then I got an email suggesting that I give Arledge Strings a call. I looked them up on the web and then called them. We talked a bit and I decided to use their kit and send them the info for this GH-1 and use their rescaling expertise. I was guessing that the tenor would get between 4 and 6 wound unisons. I haven't gotten the strings back from them yet, but he said their typical GH-1 rescaling involves 4 wound tenor unisons. I will need to add some hitch pins to accomodate them. That is where it stands right now. I think the strings should come in this week.
