Alan, You might also try GC Piano in Canada. He makes bass strings/rescales for my rebuilds and I love them. He may have the rescaled info already and be able to do it quickly. He usually does larger pianos, though, but it's worth a call. G C Piano Co.

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.
