List, The power and value of this list has come through once again! Thanks to the advice of Newton and Del, as well as others, I kept at it, and by experimenting with all variables, not to mention neglecting my family for a day and a half while I played with the PSCALE program, I've managed to reduce the 40,300lbs down to 38,900lbs. I'm still about 275lbs higher then what I thought was original, but I've discovered that what I thought were original bass strings are more then likey replacements (Newton suggested that when I mentioned to him that I had unwrapped ends by the agraffes of 1-1/4" all the way down). So I figure the piano originally had a slightly higher tension anyway. I've got a great inharmonicity curve. Looking forward to hearing it! Thanks for all the help. Gordon Large, RPT
