[CAUT] coupled motion and other myths

Is this pitch drop that Virgil Smith mentions, is it the same as "coupled
motion"?  Did he call it that?  Who then came up with the name? 
    
I can demonstrate the opposite.  I can tune a unison that will show the
pitch rising from the first string tuned.  And this would be a unison that
agrees with any RPT.   Lets do it at a convention.  I will pay for the booth
if each visitor chips in a dollar.  (As an added truth, I can also
demonstrate it can go down in an acceptable unison.)  That ought to make it
worth $2.00 a visit.    Richard Moody
