I took this off one of similar vintage.  Might have modified it some for the
final stringing.

From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf
Of Rob & Helen Goodale
Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 1:47 PM
To: pianotech at ptg.org
Subject: [pianotech] Mason & Hamlin AA string scale

 

Does anyone have the stringing scale for a Mason & Hamlin  AA?   Serial
22715, (1914).  This one has the right angle turn connecting the bass bridge
to the treble bridge.  I am doing a complete rebuild on this one for a
client and it was restrung probably 50 years ago- incorrectly I might add.
I have the "Guide To Restringing" book that should list the correct scale
but I can't locate it and it would probably take me half a day of digging in
order to find it.

 

Thanks,

 

Rob Goodale, RPT
