| design or change it? He indicated that he would probably 
| change it if he saw the need to. This is all paraphrased from

| his strings being rather happy with Mapes who follows what I 
| send them quite faithfully. I wonder if Del's recalculated 
| scale was actually produced or not.

Jim and I have also had some discussions on this. And, yes, my scales are
produced quite accurately. I measure each string of each set just to be sure. He
comes as close as anyone else has, and much closer than most.
