bass string problem

[Leslie Bartlett]

Before you get a new string made, it would be worth having a look at the
original design on a scaling spreadsheet. Post up the speaking length, cover
diameter and the note number on the piano. We can look at the tension to see
if it is getting up near critical levels. Quite a few of us on the list have
spreadsheets in which we can drop the numbers to see what is going on.

                Well quite a few.......... of you know some stuff about
scaling.  I am really ignorant.   Will a scaling program also provide some
information about "how to think" about scales, what and why they are, so
that persons with no experience can understand something about the whole
thing?   I'd like to know enough not to be stupid, but haven't a clue about
how one goes to learning such things. If there are scaling programs which
help along that way, I'd sure like to know about them.  thanks. les bartlett
