Baldwin L scale

[Avery Todd]

List,

   Can anyone confirm that the scale below is correct, built in 1994,
serial #328498?
   I didn't mic the wires as I took them off because the numbering was
on the plate and I was just now looking at it and am not real sure of
the stringing scale. If I counted right, there are 18 of the 17 ga. wire!
Boy, that seems like a lot. This is the first Baldwin I've restrung in
many years.
   It doesn't jibe with the old Baldwin book I have, though. *It* starts
with a 13 ga. wire and this one with a 13.5 ga. I guess it's that high
count of 18 ga. that's bothering me. Just trying to be sure and I can't
call Kent or the factory until tomorrow.
  Here's my count:

 My Piano                Old Baldwin Book
13    (none)                 13     5
13.5 - 5                     13.5 - 4
14   - 4                     14   - 4
14.5 - 4                     14.5 - 6
15   - 4                     15   - 6
15.5 - 4                     15.5 - 6
16   - 8                     16   - 6
16.5 - 4                     16.5 - 4
17   - 18                    17   - 10
18   - 6                     18   - 6
19   - 4                     19   - 4
20   - 2                     20   - 2

5 2-string tenor unisons
Bass Break
20 bass unisons

   Thanks for any confirmation anyone can give me.

Avery
