yamaha wire is metric..OT

[pianolover 88]

The bass end of the long bridge is the start of the stamping order. It is 
also stamped to be read that way. First 4 unisons is #20, followed thus: 19 
-2, 18.5 -2, 18 -2, 17.5 -2, 17 -4, 16.5 -8, 16 -9, 15.5 -8, 15 -5, 14.5 -4, 
14 -6, 13.5 -6.

David,

If #88 doesn't have a size stamped there, that means they started from the 
bass
end. Hamburg Steinway does this as I'm sure several other do also.
