Dear List, I am restringing a York 1919 full upright piano. While removing the old strings I came across something that puzzles me. The lower stretch of the treble steel tri-strings are all 20 gauge except for the last three strings. These three go back a gauge to 19. The piano strings were original from manufacturer and the factory technician clearly marked with pencil on the edge of the bridge that this is so. I thought string scales were progressive. I head back first thing in the morning to finish stringing so will be done before many of your comments come in. All the same, I am curious what you all have to share? Is this an isolated incident? Would you go back with 19 or 20? I will go back with 20 and change it later if I see I am wrong. Thanks much, Glen --------------------------------------------------------------- Glen and Ruth Deligdisch P.O. Box 248 Waxhaw, NC 28173 Tel: (704) 843-9089 E-mail: Glen_Deligdisch@SIL.ORG
