"..when there's no dog leg, the tension percentage adjacent to the plate struts will be a complete disaster...." Absolutely wrong. The piano in question is a Bechstein, which would probably have individual TIED strings in the plain wire, which allows for corrections on a note to note basis, allowing you to smooth out any anomolies in the strut area. Again, scale evaluation and correction, on ALL rewhatevers, is essential, IMHO. lf, on the oft-chance, this particular piano does not have individual tied strings, it is still possible to add that feature to the scale/hitch pin configuration. No biggie here. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay! [G}
