rescaling for copper-wound strings

[Michael Collin]

Gurus,
 
Kimball consolettes have strings past the bass break that are wound with something other than copper (aluminum?).  These strings always sound dead.  Does replacing those strings with copper-wound strings improve the tone?  If so, is there a way to calculate the specs for the copper-wound strings based on the existing string specs?  (I assume the heavier copper requires different gauge/winding length, etc.)
 
Thanks,
Michael Collin
