An old Yamaha (grey = market #13178 circa 1931) six foot grand (#3 scale on plate) has = eighty-nine notes in the scale! As I tuned down the bass everything was = as normal until I got to A 0. There appeared to be an extra bass string. = At first I thought that the hammer was mis aligned. The last shank had = been replaced and the screw was not a great fit. As I checked and = re-checked I determined there was an extra note. Twenty-three notes in = the bass (on the action) and twenty-four on the plate. I eventually = counted all the notes from C-8 down (three times!) and it checked out = every time. I finally convinced myself I wan't crazy. Has anyone ever = seen this before? What could the explanation be? Phil Romano Myrtle Beach, SC philromano@attglobal.net ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
