Is Bigger Better?

[Carl Meyer]

Donald:   I'm not Del, but I wouldn't dream of  replacing even bass strings
without running the scale thru pscale or equivalent to see where I'm at.

I've just restrung an upright s&s k52 and I plotted the scale as printed on
the plate, another plot as I measured the strings, and another as I rescaled
it.  They were all different to some degree.  Forces you to make some
decisions, doesn't it?

Regards

Carl Meyer
