<html> <body> Mark, Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to mention to Jeff (he probably already knows) but those numbers I sent are for metric strings. I have both of the measurements on the sheet they sent me if you should need it. Avery At 02:40 PM 8/2/2005, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Metric wire sizes aren't exactly the same as imperial... (somewhere I have a comparison chart Ted Sambell gave me), so I'd measure them anyhow.   Using the scale Avery sent as a guide, drop string-tension a 1/2 turn or so at the beginning of every section. (often you can "see" the guage changes by looking closely unison by unison)   With your string hook in one hand and micrometer in the other, lift each (slack) string and make your reading.   It is very quick... and then you'll know.   best regards, Mark Cramer, Brandon University                -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [<a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org" eudora="autourl"> mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org</a>]On Behalf Of Jeff Olson Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 1:40 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] G3 Yamaha Stringing Scale <dl> <dd>Thanks, guys -- I appreciate the input! <dd>  <dd>What I'll do if the gauges aren't marked on the bridge is take a few confirming measurements (per Willem's suggestion) and then, if it matches the scale sent by Avery (much thanks, Avery!), I'll proceed full speed ahead.   The Yamaha is 1971, so I'm optimistic it will match. <dd>  <dd>Best, <dd>  <dd>JeffO <dl> <dd>----- Original Message ----- <dd>From: <a href="mailto:hesand01@louisville.edu">Hans E Sander</a> <dd>To: <a href="mailto:caut@ptg.org">caut@ptg.org</a> <dd>Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 9:34 AM <dd>Subject: Re: [CAUT] G3 Yamaha Stringing Scale <dd>But it wasn't a G3! <dd>>>> <a href="mailto:wimblees@aol.com">wimblees@aol.com</a> 08/02/05 11:34 AM >>> <dd>Jeff <dd>  <dd>If the scale isn't listed on the bridge, it might be worth your time to measure the scale anyway, instead of relying on what Avery gave you, or what Yamaha gives you. A number of years ago I had to order a set of bass strings for a brand new Yamaha, and twice they sent me the wrong set. Come to find out that Yamaha changed the scale on that model, even though the model number was the same. <dd>  <dd>Wim <dd>Willem Blees, RPT <dd>Piano Tuner/Technician <dd>School of Music <dd>University of Alabama <dd>Tuscaloosa, AL USA <dd>  <dd>  <dd>-----Original Message----- <dd>From: Richard Murphy <rmurphy@siue.edu> <dd>To: College and University Technicians <caut@ptg.org> <dd>Sent: Tue, 02 Aug 2005 09:43:38 -0500 <dd>Subject: Re: [CAUT] G3 Yamaha Stringing Scale <dd><tt>Hi Jeff, <dd>    Look on the rear notch of the bridge. <dd>Richard <dd>On 8/1/05 8:10 PM, "Jeff Olson" <<a href="mailto:jlolson%40cal.net">jlolson@cal.net</a>> wrote: <dd>> I'm wondering if anyone knows a good source of stringing scales (aside from <dd>> the Book)?  I'm restringing a Yamaha G3 (circa late seventies), and would <dd>> rather not laboriously measure the strings.  The last time I restrung a <dd>> Yamaha -- some time ago --  I could've sworn I remember numbers being <dd>> stamped on the plate, but didn't find any this time. <dd>> <dd>> Thanks in advance, <dd>> <dd>> Jeff  O. <dd>> <dd>> <dd>> _______________________________________________ <dd>> caut list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"> https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</a> <dd>_______________________________________________ <dd>caut list info: <a href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"> https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</a> </tt></blockquote> <x-sigsep></x-sigsep> </dl> </dl>_______________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4017</body> </html>
