List,
  What I don't understand is ,I can't go by sound,which is what I 
know,because in this case a busted pinblock took that option away.So I don't 
know how the piano sounded  
to start with.I noticed yesterday the the pinblock was replaced in 1960,as it 
was written on it,so I wonder if the string sizes(steel)written on the plate 
are original,or maybe someone has already changed this.I am relatively new at 
restringing on my own,and want to start off right, making good decisions.I 
have done numerous pianos(only one in my shop, restringing) I have put on no 
telling how many strings in the field,and on a newly strung piano as well in 
other shops.But have little or no experience in rescalling.I have the Travis 
stringing book with different scales listed,but there might be 3 or 4 that 
look like they would work,should I throw a dart?(just kidding).It's wonderful 
having vast knowledge at your fingertips,and willing to share it,thanks much.
