I am "interpreting" what you have written as don't take the time.....  I
will do it for you if you wish it done, but you need to let me know by
1:00pm Montana time tomorrow as I am leaving for the city that the piano
is located in shortly after that time.  Like I said before - I would be
glad to do it for you.  You did say 60 trichords of plain wire - yes/no??

ps  If I am lucky the scale might even be written on the plate or bridge
(BIG HOPE)
