Rescaling questions

[Bec and John]

Hi David,

I'm far from an expect on such matters, but I'll comment on your 
inharmonicity question.

I think the main issue is to ensure a smooth progression of 
inharmonicity from string to string. I don't mean to discourage use of 
that website or their software, but I think it's important to mention 
that with such a method at any particular point in the future we may 
very well discover another element of producing sound that we didn't 
previous know of and calculate into our scale/piano designs. What the 
most important factor in the end is always "how does it sound?".
