BE careful. I rebellied one (1872)?scaled for A-458. Pitch wars era.?Rescaling is necessary if you are to tune it to A-440

<< Is there anyone out there that has a stringing scale for a Steinway style 
1.   I would like this piano to be tunable to A-440 when I am done. >>

You may have to consider a different wire than our modern stuff.  And you 
might ask Steinway for the scale, but be aware that they might not really know 
what the tension was supposed to be.  I had a type 3 reboarded at the factory 10 

years ago.  I think they screwed it up, since the partial plate didnt' keep 
the massive pinblock from bulging up in the middle so badly that the music desk 
scrapes on it.
