Wire Size Calculations for Restringing
By Terry Smythe

Many years ago, I acquired a classic basket case 1922 Krakauer 6'
Welte.    Somebody had started work on it, and had removed all strings
without leaving behind documentation.   Fortunately, I did receive with
it a full set of new bass strings, so that part of it is not a
problem.

Does anyone know if there is software out there somewhere that will
help me calculate or determine in some way the correct wire sizes for
all other strings when comes time to restring this piano?

Regards,

Terry
