&gt; Found out today that the wire size indications that Yamaha stamps on 
their
&gt; grand piano bridges are METRIC, not standard sizes.  I confirmed this 
with
&gt; tech Greg at yamaha corp. When I mentioned this to a couple other techs
(who
&gt; have more experience than myself), their typical reaction was, 
&quot;hmmm, I
&gt; didn't know that&quot;. So, for example, 14.5 on the bridge calls for 
15
standard
&gt; size. How many on the list knows this? (Probably most everyone but me! 
:))
&gt;
&gt; Also, since I'm restringing my yamaha G1, after removing the old
understring
&gt; felt, i found that the &quot;curved&quot; piece at the beginning of the 
plain wire
&gt; tenor section (between agraffe and tuning pins) is actually a piece of
&gt; cardboard, covered with thin felt, instead of one thick piece, as in 
the
&gt; last two sections. Upon further inspection, the underside of the 
cardboard
&gt; also has an extra strip of the material on one side, and a thinner 
strip
of
&gt; felt on the other, for DB purposes no doubt. I wonder if you can order
these
&gt; pieces ready-made, or will i  have to just make a &quot;copy' of it 
myself.
