[CAUT] 1912 B: speaking lengths anyone?

[Brucepiano at att.net]

Hi Mark,

  Would you be able to share more about the program HVAK you are using to record humidity?  That would be very useful as we are starting the battle to create funds for a new climate controlled building.  Thanks for your help!

Thanks Bob, this is amazing, and exactly what I needed! You saved me from plan B, which was having to measure yet another 1912 B (private job) coming into ths shop next month. Good to know there's lots of these fine instruments out there.

Sorry if I wasn't clear Ron, no need to diagnose. Re-capping is a foregone conclusion, as the bridges are barely touching, or below the plane of my test string... with no string load. :>( 

(Our shop is now alarmed (the HVAC e-mails me) at a 20% minumim RH, as opposed to previous Januarys, when this board was originally installed, and the engineers calculated single-digits... and we still hot-boxed! :>)   
 
I just wanted to double-check my speaking lengths with Bob's before I start carving the cap. Must be the 1/2" of shop dust on my teardown notes making me paranoid.  

best regards,
Mark Cramer

PS Anyone watch the first round of matchplay? Tiger's back with a vengenance, and Phil... well, even after Riviera last week, Phil is still Phil. ;>)

Mark, I've got a scale for a 1912 B, which I've attached. Sorry you have to  
regroup.

Due to shifting priorities and  budgets, I ended up shoving a 1912 B into the 
corner for a month or two, after  just nicely installing a new board and 
planing bridges to final  height. 
That several month delay somehow  turned into several years, and now I find 
that four winters of single-digit  shop humidity has taken a toll. Though there’
s still enough crown to work with  (sniff), the down-bearing isn’t worth the 
bother, so rather than whine about  it, I’m just going to plane the cap off 
and start again.   
(Yes Mrs. Smith, you really need  to keep that humidifier going, even if you 
aren’t playing your  piano) 
So, to preclude any further  humbling, it seems like a good time to stop and
double-check my speaking  lengths. If anyone has a spreadsheet of plain-wire
speaking lengths  (millimeters, sil vous plais) they wouldn’t mind sharing, I
would certainly  appreciate it.
Thanks,
