Matter of fact, this thread's got me wondering how many times I might have used the wrong wire size replacing a single broken wire. Steinways are stamped from 88 and go down, Baldwins from the lowest tenor and go up. I haven't changed a string on a Yamaha in so long I don't remember. I'm sure that how the plate is stamped is production related - whether each company trains its stringers to start at 88 and go down or at the low tenor and go up. You can also tell by looking at how the stamped unisons share wires with neighboring unisons. On a three string unison, the string which is shared by two unisons is either on the left or right. If it's on the left, obviously the notes to the left will share that wire size, and vice versa. Jeff ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
