[CAUT] G3 Yamaha Stringing Scale

[Mark Cramer]

I agree Jon, the small Yamahas of this age tend to sound a little "boxy" and
the (original) bass strings don't help.

I'm thinking of two 60's vintage G-3's and two G-2's where Danny's strings
made wonderful improvements.

Neither of the G-2s 'needed' re-stringing or tuning-pins, so the bass
strings were replaced for tonal benefit alone, and both clients (and myself)
are very pleased.

I'd be inclined to take string-length measurements and bass string
patterns and send them to Danny at GC Piano for rescaling.  He's done
a number of older, obscure pianos for me with fantastic results.  So
I'm sure there's something which might be improved upon given the
whole scale to recalculate.
