Same thing happened to me with a different piano.  See:

  http://mmd.foxtail.com/Archives/Digests/199604/1996.04.24.01.html
  http://mmd.foxtail.com/Archives/Digests/199607/1996.07.03.06.html

The latter entry includes a clickable link to a computer formula to
calculate string dimensions, as prepared by Doug Rhodes.  I uploaded
that formulae to MMD back in 1996.  When I tried it a few minutes ago,
I got an error message.  Perhaps Robbie or Jody could look into this.
