"?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,"

I find it unconscionable(?) that this question keeps surfacing! Doesn't
anyone pay attention?? We have the ability to SCALE Pianos for the greatest
overall improvement of  sound, on an individual basis! And yet, none of you
techno-geeks seem willing to put forth the EFFORT to learn how to do this!
What is that???? To assume that every piano of a specific Make/Model/Year
is exactly the same is just down-right STUPID! I'm sorry and I apologize
for being so sarcastic, but this is one of those subjects that really
pushes ALL of my buttons!  PLEASE, learn the technology or DO NOT
REBUILD???!! You're not up to the task, imho.
