The thread concerning scales is interesting and started me thinking about my
own piano.  Coming form the violin world I realize the importance of quality
strings.  The whole job of the violin is to amplify the sound of the
strings, ergo, good strings = good sound.  Scaling, however seems much more
involved than just quality.  It seems to be a re-engineering of sorts.  Is
it possible to just specify the piano make and string length and order a set
of strings that sound better?
