<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">Hello list, I am working on gaining rebuilding skills.  I have a project in the works.  The patient, a 60+ yr old Baldwin Howard grand.  I haven't measured yet but looks to be about 5' in length.  The plate is out, the soundboard is stripped and ready for shimming.  While I was removing the strings I noticed what I thought was inconsistent wire size changes.  Numbers weren't smooth at all.  Before I send the bass strings off to be duplicated I thought I might try to improve scaling (if possible).  Since I know less than nothing about scaling, and I have this wonderful resource (i.e., this list), I figured I could pick the brains of some of the "best out there."  Question 1:  Has anyone out there rescaled this particular model? And have the numbers available? if yes Question 2:  How do I let the string manufacturer know the new specs? Question 3:  Is there a charge for ones time already put into the data. Question 4:  How does this all work?  Do I need to ask more questions? Anxiously awaiting your response Mike Bratcher BTW..the pinblock in this thing is in near perfect condition.  Very good torque throuthout.  The original owner must have never tuned it.</HTML>
