Call for scaling spreadsheets

[Farrell]

I agree that "...the only way to truly "rescale" the plain steel is to rip 
off the bridge and fit a new one...". But I respectfully disagree with the 
implication that a piano needs to be "...so ill-designed in the first place 
(that) it's not going to be worth the expense of the exercise...".

It is done routinely in a number of shops. I do it to all my belly jobs. And 
IMHO, to very good and efficient effect.

I think much of this is dependant on what the targeted final outcome is and 
where one's priorities lie.
