Bob,
    Here is the stringing scale for the SD10 taken from the Baldwin Service Manual; Providing that the piano has never been re strung, you can always mike the wire as you take it off and get the scale,thus.
Hope this helps,

Thanks,

That agrees with what was on the plate.  In conversation with someone who has restrung a few of these they said they like to use the scale from the old baldwin 9' beginning with size 22 in the tenor.  Is the SD 10 a little longer than its predecessor?  What do you think of this idea?  It will make some difference perhaps in the setting of the downbearing by the chart that was recently posted.
