Yamaha GH-1

[Alan McCoy]

Mary,

I will be using Pscale on this piano sometime in mid-June. I am guessing
that at least 4 and maybe 6 of the low plain-wire unisons in the low tenor
will be replaced with wound strings. I'll get back with the scaling results
next month. It'll be interesting to run several different what if scenarios.
