Julia,

Here are some samples (you'll have to add up the totals):

  Greetings, 

           How many pounds of tension are on a piano's plate? Does this cumulative tension vary with the size of the piano?  Me thinks it does.  What would approximate tension ranges be, for say, spinets, uprights and 6' grands?

  Thanks
