David said: "Some are, some aren't. I do agree that running the numbers yourself is always a good thing. At least then, even if you don't like it, you have some real sense of what was done. " David, Completely agree. It's all part of the learning curve to making scales "less Bad".<G> When you have done the numbers and ordered the strings...and the results are not what you expected, even though the string maker made them correctly, then you have something to assess and possibly change for the better, the second time.<G> Yes, it can be a bit expensive and sometimes frustrating, but it leads to knowledge that is needed by every tech that changes strings, IMHO.
