"?Does anyone have the stringing scale for a Mason & Hamlin AA? Serial<br>
22715, (1914). This one has the right angle turn connecting the bass bridge<br>
to the treble bridge. I am doing a complete rebuild on this one for a<br>
client and it was restrung probably 50 years ago- incorrectly I might add.<br>
I have the "Guide To Restringing" book that should list the correct scale<br>
but I can't locate it and it would probably take me half a day of digging<br>
in order to find it.<br>

Thanks,"<br>

Rob, et al<br>
I find it unconscionable(?) that this question keeps surfacing! Doesn't<br>
anyone pay attention?? We have the ability to SCALE Pianos for the greatest<br>
overall improvement of sound, on an individual basis! And yet, none of you<br>
techno-geeks seem willing to put forth the EFFORT to learn how to do this!<br>
What is that???? To assume that every piano of a specific Make/Model/Year<br>
is exactly the same is just down-right STUPID! I'm sorry and I apologize<br>
for being so sarcastic, but this is one of those subjects that really<br>
pushes ALL of my buttons! PLEASE, learn the technology or DO NOT<br>
REBUILD???!! You're not up to the task, imho.<br>
