Thanks for the explanation.  The mellow-vs-strident tone thing is =
definitely relevant, since we're reshaping, not replacing, hammers.  =

Mike,
You should also look at Tension and Impedance. With PScale, you'll have =
to search around for the Impedance. It's there, (according to Tremane), =
but it is not part of the overall "picture" you see when doing the =
scaling. Personally, I like to see a balance of the Impedance and =
Inharmonicity. For Inharmonicity & Impedance look for linear equality.
Because you are using the olde hammers, resurfaced, this will add to the =
"brilliance" of tone, somewhat. I'd look at it from the standpoint that =
the hammers will be replaced, (probably sooner than later.<G>).
Best Regards,
