Scaling...comment on wrong string size

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings, 

        Yes, gage makes a difference.  At tuning school, I was playing one of 
the pianos in the tuning caves. (a name we called the booths where you 
practice tuning) C76 sounded awful. It was different somehow and even though it was 
in tune, it didnt match in timbre of the other notes in that area.

        Here, one of the tuning students had broken the string, and replaced 
it with a string about 2 sizes larger than required. This was one of those 
things that I was fortuate enough as a student to see what NOT to do.
