Hi Otto, Why does the false beat not change speed?

The slightly flat you have sometimes observed was first noticed by (of course) Jim Coleman. I've documented it a few times on the pianotech list. > However, checking the open unison, the ETD will sometimes indicate that it is slightly sharp or flat. Has anyone else observed this?
