Some of the discussion I've seen here today has involved speculation involving the qualities of music wire manufactured in years past. There is an excellent book written on the subject of historic music wire titled "The Historical Harpsichord, Volume Two: The Metallurgy of 17th and 18th Century Music Wire" While this is obviously somewhat off the present subject, some comparisons to modern music wire are made,and many other interesting facts can be found including an excellent discussion of inharmonicity as well as a subject I don't hear many people discussing - subjective inharmonicity. Has anyone else seen or heard discussion of subjective inharmonicity? I find it an intriguing idea, and wonder about it a lot when I am tuning the final octave. ``````````````````````````````````` Eric Wolfley RPT University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music eric.wolfley@uc.edu http://ucccm56.ccm.uc.edu/pianowolf/ ```````````````````````````````````
