 Like many European pianos, Bluthner marks their wire sizes directly on the
 bridge, itself. You may have to clean the dirt and dust off the wood
 first, but the stringing scale should be there, usually in blue ink.

One thing to keep in mind.  Be sure whether the wire sizes are marked in
English or metric since there is a difference.  It's slight but relevant on
restringing.
