Hi,

As the original strings were lost, I had to come up with a new stringing
schema which you can see below. Here is what the columns mean:

 - Sounding length: length in mm from nut to bridge.
 - Material: CuZn = yellow brass, Fe = Iron. All strings are from Malcolm
Rose. The iron is type B (for fortepianos and square pianos up to c. 1820).
 - Diameter: string diameter in mm.
 - #Semitones: the number of semitones before the string breaks. E.g.: a
value of 2 means that the string will break when you tune the string up a
complete tone.
 - Tension: the tension expressed in kg/m³

Comments/critics are of course most welcome.
