    Isn’t there a book somewhere that has the scales for the most common pianos?

    You may be thinking of John Travis's "Guide to Restringing." It does have a number of scales in it, but it was written and published a long time ago (early 70s perhaps?).
    S&S scales are listed in their service manuals and in the volume by Kehl and Kirkland. The information in that book is authoritative.

    Benjamin, the book you referenced "The Official Guide to Steinway Pianos" by Roy Kehl  and David Kirkland I would suggest is a must have book, and yes it has all model stringing patterns and so much more…buy it today !
