There used to be an "old wives tale" (?) that inharmonicity in piano strings disappeared when they were bowed. Accompanying this was the assumption that there is no inharmonicity in the bowed strings of the viols. I probably shouldn't mention it, not having taken the trouble to do any research. Anyone have any direct experience with this alleged phenomenon? Regards, Alan B. Crane, RPT School of Music Wichita State University alan.crane at wichita.edu
