- Why not use a cardboard punching with the size number written on it? You could put them all in place before you began stringing. Susan Better yet, why not use rub-on transfer numbers onto the plate and mark the scale. All the office supply houses carry them. Reasonably priced ( $3-$4) with enough numbers to do 5 or 6 pianos. I don't know about you but I get a bit grumpy when restringing is done and the scale is not marked on the plate. In my opinion, it is a courtesy we all should do for the next person who has to work on the instrument. Not to mention it reduces stringing errors. Tom Servinsky, RPT
