<DIV>Sheesh! Take the measurements of the "lay-out" and calculate the =

scale for that individual piano. AND, while I'm at it: The calculation =
of the
Wound Strings is far more important than the treble. Also, don't fall =
into the
trap of having the String Maker do your scale!!!! (hence, the major =
problem with
"A Guide To Re-Stringing"! Way too many assumptions, IMO! Let's get our =
