[pianotech] Steinway A Bass String Rescaling

[David Love]

Seems odd.  With my bass scaling spreadsheet there is no way to approach 0
inharmonicity.  At least not without the breakpoint approaching infinity.

Are you sure about this? Since all practical, real-world music wire has some
stiffness I don't see how this would be possible.
