Dear list, I'm restringing a Behr Bros. full upright. The scale that was on the piano had two sections in the middle that had 14 and 16 unisons of gauge 17 and 16 wire respectively. a fellow tech suggested splitting up those areas with half sizes to make a smoother transition and also make a slight tone improvement -( by decreasing the tension slightly on an already tired soundboard). Any validity to this? I'll probably rescale with P-Scale anyway but I'm just curious about the original scale design. Does this seem like an unusually high number of unisons with the same wire?
