Scaling

[Joseph Garrett]

Tom asked: "Just unstrung an older Kawai model 500 grand. I was astonished to see that 
their first wire size was a #14. Thinking about rescaling this down in 
tension a bit. Anyone out there have any experience with rescaling this 
mode?. This looks like the pre-cursor to the KG2 model."

Tom,
I wouldn't! The soundboards on that model are quite thick and a #14 wire is appropriate. (Ya have to look at the Whole picture.<G>) It behooves you to get a Scaling Program and play around with this sort of stuff.<G> Then practice/experiment on your own stuff. (which entails a lot of "oops! Better Change That!"<G>)
