Interesting H.F.Miller Upright

[Jon Page]

Long, long ago, in a time when I knew more, I restrung an old H. F. Miller
upright.
There were no half sizes and vast sections of one size. I figured I could
'rescale
on the fly' and introduced a generic scale including half sizes. The sound was
a
dissapointment, worse than before. So I removed the 'new' stuff and followed
the
original scale. It sounded as it should. Go figure. I was relieved.

Regards,

Jon Page
