No,,,nononono,.... this is not the right tangent to get off on... Good that you are thinking about such tho... Stretch is a seperate issue to a large degree.. You can, and probably do without realizing it, stretch regardless of how you tune. This has to do with the way musical strings behave under tension... inharmonicity. Read about it Terry.. its quite fascinating really. If you need some good books to read for starting out on all this "theoretical" side of our job.. just shout.. As for EBVT... I for one would very much like to hear (in person) a piano tuned like this before I pass any "judgment" on it. I would be more concerened about the fact that no one seems to be able to reproduce this temperament (This according to Bills last post). Cant figure out why that should be the case... but if it truely is such then ... well so much for that idea... grin.. pianolover@worldspy.net wrote: > Since Bill (I think it was bill?) uses that EBVT, Would not the high treble sound flat since it's not stretched? > > Terry > > ______________________________________________________________ > Get free Internet service and email at http://www.worldspy.com -- Richard Brekne Associate PTG, N.P.T.F.
