And when it is all back together and you find the same tone problems and voicing
problems the piano had originally--the unevenness, the poor bass/tenor break,
the muddy bass, etc.--you'll understand why some of us rescale every piano we
rebuild. Whether we can clearly see the original scale or not.

Yeah, Rick and David, thanks for the awesome help.  I have an exact match.  I'm
a happy guy.  Sorry Joe and Del, maybe next time.
 
Kudos to the list!!!
 
I'll throw away the spreadsheet now.  It was really frustrating to plug in all
the details from formula building to inputing numbers and come up with total
garbage  ...........   not even close!!
 
BTW there's a tie at note E44.  From there on down to B27 it's a single, double,
single pattern that once you steered me in that direction I could see the
imprint in the paint on the plate connecting the two hitch pins that were
doubles.
 
It's so hot here I think I'll go have me a beer or three to celebrate.
