"Run a scale evaluation to make sure it would work"????????????//

[gordon stelter]

I understand the need to add hitch pins. I had a piano
rescaled professionally by one of the top techs
providing this service recently, but it would have
required about 15 new hitch pins. And I was under a
lot of time pressure from the customer, so I just
strung it as original. This piano was also very
lighthly ribbeed, so I wondered if heavier guages
would be sensible.
     But what do you mean by "run a scale evalutaion
to make sure it will work".? Please.
