Rescaling GH1 tenor section

[antares]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
The pure wire strings are meant for older instruments in the first=20
place, and a very good alternative for steel/copper breaks in older=20
instruments like in old Bechsteins and the like,
Inox steel in more modern instruments is, according to me, too mild and=20=

not the right stuff.
It is definitely very nice, but especially for older instruments, and=20
sometimes as a replacement of just some registers in en older=20
instrument.
