[CAUT] St. D Aliquot bar specs

[Ed Foote]

Hi Rob,
    I do know, from my own experience, that when you tape those back-strings off, there is a noticeable loss of high end in the piano's sound.  I know some of the longer scales I have seen on Chickerings will sing if not taped off.

Thanks -


I've got 2 70's D's and 2 brand new D's with so many problems that I'm just trying to tack down any original intentions. 


My understanding has been that the back string does not send energy back to the speaking length but that if those lengths are 'in tune' they can help give a more full tone by ringing sympathetically with lower partials. Any possible truth?
