[pianotech] Music wire conversion table?

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Roger! I'm sorry, but I don't have any Grotrians here to work with or 
check. I was trying to send you a personal note, but your old e-mail 
doesn't work. Please send me the current one

Best of Luck.

[pianotech] Music wire conversion table?



I'm restring a 1919 Grotrian grand piano that has been previously 
re-strung by someone who obviously didn't follow the original wire gauge 
marked on the bridge. The wire size numbers marked on the bridge start 
with 7 3/4 in the treble and end at 11 in the tenor. Does anybody know the 
conversion formula for these numbers? Also, would the temper of this 
original wire be significantly different from the current wire produced?
