When you try to measure a cycle that is moving, even as you measure it, the best that can be done is measure the cycle/curve at the point the measurement is taken. In addition, for any meaningful analysis to be done that 'measurement' 'must' come at exactly the same time in the cycle life, with 'exactly' the same force causing the cycle at each measurment....again, it ain't gonna happen. At least not with the equipment that most piano techs have available. Not trying to discourage anyone though, I am finding the discussion interesting. Jim Bryant (FL)
