Rescaling A Chickering Upright

[Garret Traylor]

Patrick,

The first piano that we chose to rescale, a Chickering grand was with the help of James Arledge www.pianostrings.com; we measured for every note bass and treble.  WOW!  Totally different piano.  You should try.  You wont’ regret it.  James will be glad to give you a quote.

Kindest Regards,

Garret

Subject: Rescaling A Chickering Upright

 

I have taken in an 1890's Chickering upright with scale number 67. I am thinking that this piano might benefit from a rescaling, which I have not yet done. I would appreciate some recommendations on rescaling services and approximate cost. If anyone has done this to a Chickering upright, did rescaling it appreciably improve the performance?

Thanks,
