new scale for Bush & Lane

I am in the process of putting in a new pin block in a Bush and Lane 6' grand
piano. I bought the piano for the purpose of reselling it. 

The scale is as follows:
19.5  - 4
19  - 4
18 - 10
17 - 10
16 - 10
14.5  -  8
14 - 6
13.5 -8

The break between 16 and 14.5 seems very drastic. Also, with so many 18, 17,
and 16 size wires, the 16's wind up in the top treble section. 

I have, on occasion, rescaled a piano, just for the fun of it, but it was
purely by guess work, and what I thought would be good.  Does anyone out there
have a formula, or better yet, a program that can give me a better scale?

E-mail me privately if you can help me.
