Piano Rescaling

[atonal@telusplanet.net]

Greetings list, 

	I'm preparing to teach a convention course on Piano Scaling 
and Scale Evaluation, and I'm looking for general information and 
anecdotal evidence of rescaling, in shop, in home, etc. I'm trying to 
get a 'real-world' perspective on rescaling, rather than just present 
another bunch of formulas. (which I have enough info on already, 
Sanderson, Roberts, Hayes/Travis) A while back, there was some 
discussion of retrofitting Yamaha GH-1's with wound strings in the 
lower tenor section, any stories along the line of improving 
troublesome sections of piano through changing wire diameters or 
repositioning bridges would be great. If you have data regarding the 
piano, diameters, speaking lengths, hammer strike distance, and 
wound string info, that would be great. 

Please reply to me privately at atonal@telusplanet.net 

Thanks,
