The work was commendable, = however, I've been asked to make both tonal and touch-weight changes to = the instrument. Beyond the fact that the instrument has no capo bar, but rather = agraffes, as well as agraffes instead of bridge pins, it is strung with = sizes 12, 13, 14, 15, etc. A.S.&W plain wire(up to #20), without any = half sizes. My question is whether rescaling the instrument with = half-sizes would improve the overall tonality, and tunability of the = piano. Since the plate was painted, it was impossible to see if the = rebuilder followed the original scale. =20 Thanks in advance for any recommendations you may be able to offer- = especially if you could have encountered this particular instrument and = have the scale on hand.
