Have you not read Junghans in 'Der Piano- und Flgelbau' either, which details a scale on very similar principles to Wolfenden's; not that several makers were not already following these principles -- there was nothing new about it in 1916 -- and most still do. In fact an 1865 Kirkman I am currently working on might almost have been the model for such a scale. What scales have you designed and what principles did you follow? JD
