Sanderson Scaling/Terry F

[Stephen Airy]

Is it possible, say, on a large grand (like 7 foot or longer) with
non-individual-hitch-pin plain wire scaling (the type in which the
string comes from a tuning pin, around the hitch pin, and the same
piece of wire goes to the next tuning pin), to change plain trichords
to wound trichords?
