Well heck, Just when you think it's safe to go out there again, something like this happens. Besides the three inches of sleet (it (sleeted (slat (slut ?)?)?) all day), my last piano today was another equal tension scale critter. A Young Chang G-175 sn#G014528, 15 years old, had the characteristic speaking length changes on the treble bridge. This one belongs to my neighbor across the street so, what with her being sort of used to me and all that, I have a good chance of being able to convince her to let me spend another hour in her living room taking scale measurements. I am still curious about this scaling philosophy, if not convinced of it's validity, and would like to get a look at the numbers through the whole scale - bass and all. After all these years, I see two examples of this within about a week. Either the Gods are picking on me, or I've actually seen hundreds of them and only recently noticed. Looks like about even odds so far. I guess it's true. Entertainment, like gold, is where you find it. In anticipation of next week, Ron N
