yamaha wire is metric..OT

[pianolover 88]

So if there are no strings available to mic, the sense i'm getting from 
these posts, is that the scale indications on the long bridge are basically 
useless? The Travis book, "A guide to restringing" lists the EXACT SAME 
scale (for yamaha G1 (J)) as found on the very same piano's long bridge. So 
does that mean you would NOT drop 1/2 size, but simply duplicate the actual 
sizes indicated, when using American Standard wire?

I don't pay much attention to what's marked on the bridge, plate, or wire 
canister for field replacements. I mic what comes off, and what goes back 
on, and try to get close.

Here's the problem... spreadsheet attached.
