[CAUT] pre-stretching new string?

[David Love]

I'm happy to step away since this doesn't seem to be going anywhere anyway.
The issue of why certain sections of pianos go out of tune more than others
I would think has some relevance for those designing scales, rescaling or
otherwise trying to understand how and why their pianos will react to
seasonal changes the way they do-perhaps not.

Thank you, Ed. For me, in this discussion, emotions are too high, data too
little and gathered in non-standardized manners so therefore not comparable,
and applicability of the information to my work is too low. 

 

I would have to say that the discussion is academic in at least two senses:
reminds me of old days in graduate school, and is of limited practicality.

 

But if others find CAUT benefit from it, let the games go on. Me, I'm using
the "delete" button a lot, which is not usual with the CAUT postings.

Just an opinion.

Dear Friends-

 

Perhaps there is a need for a different mailing list dedicated to intense
discussion of complex and unanswerable questions of piano technology.  

 

Or perhaps I'm just becoming a nasty old snoot, but I did prefer it when
CAUT was more terse and to the point, and dealt with problems related to
college and university work.

 

If I'm alone in this opinion I'll bow out smiling.  Or should we ask PTG to
create a "high intensity" technology list?
