[CAUT] String Scale for a Steinway O Curved bass bridge

[David Skolnik]

Scott, Michael -
I'm assuming you've read David Love's posts as well.  Michael, if you 
have the time, it might be interesting to take those speaking length 
measurements and plug them into one or more of the available scaling 
programs, just to see how they would compare to the published 
scales.  It seems a shame not to take advantage of the available technology.
