[CAUT] Pure Sound M scale

[Jim Busby]

Ed,

 

Juan charges $40.00 for a rescale. Free, for the first time buyer of
Pure Sound wire. Very reasonable, considering the painstaking work he
puts into it to get what he considers optimal. You should contact him
directly. He welcomes that. (Although, plan on a bit of time on the
phone!)

 Jim

What is the cost of the scale information for a Steinway M?

	Of course all I do with regard to Pure Sound Wire is done with
Juan Mas-Cabre's consent and support. As the Pure Sound distributor for
North America, it only makes sense. Juan and I depend on each other. 
	
	The idea of the "kits" is a brilliant one to make it easy for
first-time users to try the wire and have a successful result. While
technicians are more than welcome to simply purchase various gauges and
go for it, the "kits" are kind of an easy introduction to this wire.

	Hi Jim,
	I agree with Ed. And understand Juan's position as well. Jurgen
is selling "kits" of wire plus scales for Steinway M, L and B. Does this
have Juan's consent? I think, very strongly, that it ought to. That is
precisely the best way to promote use of the wire: make it easy the
first time. There's a hassle factor to trying something new, in this
case a pretty big one. You have to make a fairly large investment in
material. You have to do what is necessary to come up with scaling,
which means a lot of measuring and writing down, plus contacting someone
or purchasing software or whatever. And you are going to have to learn
new techniques for working with a different material. All this on a bit
of a bet: some people say it's worthwhile. Is it? If not, you've wasted
a good bit of time, money, and irritation.
	I really like what Jurgen is offering: scale plus enough wire to
do a job plus a bit extra. Much less of an investment in time and
hassle. If it is as good as people (like Jim Busby <G>) are saying, then
you go the extra mile. If not, you're only out a fairly minor
investment.
