Hello everyone,

I am restoring an August Förster mod. III piano from 1914 (190 cm)

I do not have the original diameters of the steel strings, where can I find them?

I asked the company but I received no answer.

Thanks and regards.

By measuring the length of the strings, one can determine the diameter. Anyway, you should find some numbers printed on the bridge

Hi, thanks for the answer.

the strings have been replaced in the past and have diameters (which I measured) that are unreliable.

For the rest, the diameters are not present on either the bridge or the frame.

the cordier calculation programs are downloadable for free from the site of my dear friend Bettin, a skilled technician, http://www.giovannibettin.it

Thank you,

Giovanni is also a friend of mine.

A few years ago I wrote a small Windows application for calculating stringing according to Bettin's scheme.

Maybe it still works, I haven't had Windows for several years.

At this point I will follow this path, thanks for the information.

Regards.
