What a way to boost the message count (and byte count with quotes) in here! Let's hope there aren't 300+ yes or no responses followed by a ream of quotes. Dr. Weinreich wrote the excellent Scientific American article from January of 1979 with the same title, as well as contributing one of the "Five Lectures", which is probably the paper to which you're referring. That lecture is available on-line at: http://hem.fyristorg.com/5_lectures/weinreic/weinreic.html Please read it (and bookmark it!) if you haven't, especially if you're following this thread. The Five Lectures book and CD is my most popular "loaner" book on pianos. Now that it's available on the WWW (sans the audio files so far) I just give out the URL. Speaking of which, I keep printed copies of a couple of dozen piano-related URLS in my daytimer now and also include them in my brochures in order to give customers some interesting places to find piano-related information on the WWW. The response has been very positive.
