Hi every one, Don wigent here. I have just aquired a Kawai KG2d and I need to restring and re damper it. I am thinking of replacing the bottom two notes of the tenor section, B and C with 2 string unisons rather than strait wire which is I think number 19.2. These notes sound quite baunky. Any comments. By the way does anyone have the scale for this piano, it is not on the bridge.
