Thanks to everyone who responded. First call I made was to Bill Brandom at
Yamaha. They don't have a ready-made scale fix for this piano. He said the
various things they tried "didn't work." I have Pscale and I might end up
doing the rescaling myself, I was hoping to avoid reinventing the wheel tho.
I'll contact Brian de Tar first though as he was mentioned by several of
you. I'll keep you posted on this if I get a good solution.
