So, what was the point of your question? Am I missing something?

Why not spend some time analyzing those scales to learn why the breaks are
made where they are? By the way, for scales of similar length it doesn't
matter if the piano is a grand or a vertical. The principles of good scaling
remain the same.



My mom's PG-150 YC has it at A#26/B27 with

Yes, that sounds about right. Though most designers are reluctant to run
bi-chord wrapped strings into what is traditionally the "temperment" octave.
Nor is it really necessary to do so.
