Hey Fast Joe
  True enough in general except that this bass string maker also does  
scaling for his own rebuilds. That doesn't say if the scaling  program used  is 
accurate or has a tension bias  toward conservative tension numbers. 
    Also this a S&S B being discussed & the warts  are pretty common 
knowledge right? My guess is someone with experience on  list could chime in about the 
tensions involving plain wire verses BI-chord  wrapped or tri-wrapped string 
& how the various tensions blend  into the plain scale. Sounds like an 
invitiation huh? Whos got a string length  handy?

I was told by my bass string maker that this spot on both pianos is   too 
long for bichords"
 
Dale, 
And, of course, these bass string makers are  manufacturers, Scale Designers 
& Rebuilders? B.S. Unless they are in  direct contact with each piano of 
question, they ought to keep that stuff to  themselves, IMO! Of course, there are a 
few string makers that have fullfilled  the criteria and can give good 
advice, but each piano is an entity unto  itself, warts and all. The correction of 
warts is what most of us do.  Sheesh!
