Dear M. Fandrich and list members

I got an 10 years old S&S D in my shop to restring.
The crown is is 4mm  at 50% of humidity.
And there is a lot of downbearing 3 to 4 degrees on the long bridge and 
2 degres at the E20 on the bass bridge to 0.5 degrees at the A1.

Do you think it's excessive?


This piano is one of the best concert grand in town.
