Or perhaps Zorro will come > visit me? *double grin*. Well... <chuckle> (a new one...!!) I wont argue that particular point. But then in the end they dont do "wonderful" tunings either, probably for much the same reasons. Long week ? > Weighted averaging of partials on unisons? Interesting thought.... I wonder tho if there is any real way of mathamatically modeling unisons any better then one can a tuning. One can come close, but there is that little something left that cant be predicted, only resolved at the time of the doing as it were. And if one could do these, wouldnt that imply that Fairchild was right after all way back when... that there exists indeed a "one single way" of tuning all pianos ? But I digress into whimsical philosophy and I can already hear Rons footsteps in the background. :) I have enjoyed your thoughts on this Don, you always make me think things through and you do so in the nicest of ways. Now I suppose I will leave you to beat off Zorro and I will return to planet Xenon for a few days.
