    Thankyou,

      Yes I have and they went all the way up. I wrote of this before =
but this piano had agraffes all the way up and the board was a reverse =
crown design. Freak design but awesome sound. A difficult on to string>

Hmmmm....

Are you sure those were reverse crown by design? Those I've done had =
positive crown. And extremely high scale tensions -- highest I've ever =
measured. Around 62,000 lbs (28,000 kgf +) or better as I recall. Took =
some doing to bring it down and retain the agraffe design (as per the =
customers request).
