I am interested in scaling information from any early piano. I would like
to assemble as much information as possible about the stringing scales used
in early fortepianos and transitional instruments. Who knows...it might
help us understand where some of the current ideas of scaling came from.

Very little has been written about this. Most writers get into the
development of the action but only casually mention the strings or the
scaling.

Thanks,

Del
