Avery This looks like a metric scale & if strung with american wire will result in very high tension especially in the top end...snap. also it will dramtically change the sonority of the Kawai/ Yamah sound. AMHIK. It would be interesting to compare all the sizes by measurement & next time I have oppurtunity, I shall. SO, if some are & some aren't the same size then we all need to be measuring the scales before stringing regard less of what the no posted on the bridge indicate. Right? Dale Dale, Which measurement are we talking about here. 14 American or 14 Metric? Since the chart I posted earlier for the 500 was from Kawai, I figured they're talking Metric. If one is trying to restring a "Metric" piano with American wire, then this "might" be the case. Although I still believe that a class Don Manino gave here in Houston years ago, said that Kawai had done some comparisons and some sizes were the same and some weren't. Where's Don M. when one needs him?! :-D 14 - 6 14½ - 8 15 - 4 15½ - 6 16 - 6 16½ - 6 17 - 6 17½ - 6 18 - 6 18½ - 6 19 - 2 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
