[pianotech] M&H "A" Scale

[erwinspiano at aol.com]

The original scales vayied. They tried many sizes of wire at the tenor bass break. New Masons have some wrapped string there & highly suggest a few unisons there if its not too late, other wise it doesn't matter what size wire you use they all sound insuffieicent. ASk me how.........If I have time I'll post one

I am working with my mentor on a rebuild, an M&H "A" #30386 (Pierce 1922).  New soundboard is in, and we kept original bridges.  Judging by the strings removed, someone made interesting modifications to the scale.  We'd like to go in and do some scale design ourselves for fun and education.


I found a 2005 pianotech reference by Del Fandrich on how he has taught approaching this particular model, so have inquired there.  If anyone has original scale information readily available, it would assist our efforts.  Any pointers appreciated as well!


Thanks,
