scaling problem

[Farrell]

I highly recommend having the piano rescaled. A number of very qualified 
rescalers can do this for a very nominal fee. I assume you are having bass 
strings made? Most bass string makers will also do this. You can direct them 
to not make any drastic changes - just "clean it up". Jim Arledge does 
excellent work at very reasonable prices.
