And easily twice that of a M&H A. With vertical hitches, low bass cores 
that don't qualify as tone bars, and a float, it's workable. I'd like to 
see the transition a little further forward to keep the lengths shorter 
and make the wraps bigger, and the agraffe line offset back for the 
strike ratio. It might not be a problem in that small a piano though.

Very interesting.
