Hey there Joe... You know I just had a thought. What we (the list) could do is to put together an excell spreadsheet that does all the needed calculations and graphs for rescaling. Anyone interested could have a copy and we could use it to discuss and learn more about rescaling pianos. Shouldnt be that much work and I dont think we'd need anything all that complicated to start off with. Thoughts ? RicB I copied this to Caut in case there are interested parties there. ---------------------------- Hi Richard and John, Thanks, the SN is 12000 + or year 1921 or so. Your scale numbers are 1927. Might be a better scale. Different knuckles than I have ever seen. My plan so far is to refinish the inside of the piano, reguild the plate, so that we can string a few notes to see if there is any life left in the board. The bass bridge looks questionable.
