[pianotech] Measuring Bass String Lengths






Hi,
 
What method do you guys recommend for measuring the length of bass strings 
in a grand (while still in the piano) in order to have a new set made? Not 
with a paper pattern. I've used a measuring tape and a piece of string 
around the hitch pin which I marked and then re-measured afterwards....
 
Also, any rule-of-thumb as to the minimum grand piano size that would 
benefit from a computerized rescaling?
 
 
thanks
