Kimball Uprt.

[David ilvedson]

Dear List,

I have in my shop a 52" Kimball Upright, built in 1903 or so.  I
have never tried rescaling and wanted input as to the need or
not.  The scaling as is:

28 bass unisons

10 unisons at #19
10 unisons at #18
12 unisons at #17
  8 unisons at #16
10 unisons at #15
  6 unisons at #14
  4 unisons at #13

My question:  Would some 1/2 sizes be useful?  I have never tuned
this piano but assume it would tune nicely! ?  The area around
the tuning pins has that Kimball dimpled brass sheet.  Any suggestions
on a good way to protect it from damage while restringing?

Thanks in advance!
