Hola Rogerio,

=A1 Muito bom !

Thanks for your input on which unison string is best to tune first.

No problem understanding your English.  However, if you want to work on =
it, there's a great forum called Tandem [tandem@slf.ruhr-uni-bochum.de] =
where you can be assigned an English-speaking pen pal who is learning =
Portugese.  He'll correct your English, and you help him with his =
Portugese. (I'm currently doing this with people in Spain and Latin =
America - a great way to learn).

To the list.
    My English may be poor in order to explain why I think that the =
middle strings are the=20
    better in order to you do a temperament.
    When you use a rubber to mute the right side string, you may use =
this mute rubber in two=20
    directions:
    1 =96 Put the rubber from right to left and the rubber will be =
behind the right side string or
    2 =96 put the rubber from left to right and the rubber will be over =
the right side string.
          (to the left side string, change the directions)
    On the two cases the rubber forces the side string from or to the =
plate and the string will be=20
    in a different plane from the middle string. YOU NEVER FORCE THE =
MIDDLE=20
    STRING.
    So the middle string will be always in the same plane and this is a =
very good condition!
    My old German teacher said: always forces the side strings to the =
plate in order to maintain=20
    the plane of the middle string  free from the plane of the side =
strings. ( In some cases, if you=20
    forces the side string from the plate, the plane of this string is =
in front of the plane of the=20
    middle string and the hammer can=92t  to strike the string well!).
    In all cases when you pull the mute rubber from the place where it =
was muting the string,=20
    the string come to this original plane and....... MAY BE OUT OF =
TUNNING.=20
    Because of this, in some pianos the PAP=92S mute is very useful =
because it don/t forces the=20
    side string to or from the plate. This is all.
    I would like to read this in a very good English!=20
