Bob Sadowski's and Del Fandrich's latest postings have hit a point that should be of concern to us all. We need help in improving string scales. To those of you who are doing it, let us cheer you on. I can appreciate the value of historical references. But I can also appreciate the attempts to improve on developments at any point in history. We can work around the problems in any piano as we try to tune it. That is part of our job and part of the fun (or headache?) of our work. But think of the satisfaction of tuning a piano that falls comfortably into place tuning-wise. We owe that sort of experience to those designers who have done a good job all-round. We need the Del Fandrich's of our world to help us out to create instruments which are friendly to tuning. Bob Anderson Tucson, AZ
