This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Need a scale expert's opinion, please. Restringing a 1903 Haines Bros. beauty. Customer decided to "help" by removing some of the plain-wire strings over the weekend. She also started to clean off the string size notations I had marked (very neatly) on the plate. Fortunately she realized they might be important and stopped this little game. I can reconstruct the scale remaining marks and my notes for all but the lowest six notes. Starting at the 7th note, the wire size is 19. Can I assume the unknowns are probably 20's? Shall I just stick some 20-wire in there, see if I can pull it to pitch, and see if the resulting sting tension and sound is reasonable? Anyone out there have a Haines of the period? Alan R.
