Scaling

  This looks like a metric scale & if strung with american wire  will result 
in very high tension especially in the top end...snap.  also it  will 
dramtically change the sonority of the Kawai/ Yamah sound.   AMHIK.  It would be 
interesting to compare all the sizes by measurement  & next time I have 
oppurtunity, I shall.  SO, if some are & some  aren't the same size then we all need to 
be measuring the scales before  stringing regard less of what the no posted on 
the bridge indicate.   Right?

Dale,  

Which measurement are we talking about here. 14 American or 14 Metric?  

Since the chart I posted earlier for the 500 was from Kawai, I figured  
they're talking Metric. 
If one is trying to restring a "Metric" piano with  American wire, then this 
"might" be the case. 
Although I still believe  that a class Don Manino gave here in Houston years 
ago, said that 
Kawai  had done some comparisons and some sizes were the same and some 
weren't.  

Where's Don M. when one needs him?! :-D
