Hi Del,

<snip>... there are some things the piano designer can do
when laying out a scale to make these transitions smoother both from a
tuning perspective and from a tone quality perspective.  Very few pianos --
new or old -- have anywhere close to an optimum string length transition
from steel strings to wound strings.<snip>

Are you going to be talking about this in a little more depth in your class
in Arlington?  I hope so.

Looking forward to your class!
