No Problemo! If you define raising the pitch as making it less lower, that will work just fine. I too, was skeptical at first. Using current to change pitch is clever and I like clever. Lots of detailed problems, tho. The basic tuning must be sharp enough to allow the current to tune to pitch. How much I don't know. Ambient temperature will affect it. So will air movement, etc. Tuning could be done by monitoring the current and raising the tention until the current is at a proper level for each string. Wim does have a good unstated point tho. It'll never work in a socialistic environment. Hi! Wim! > Finally, someone got it right. > > > Snooker anyone? > > -Phil Bondi (Fl.) > tito@philbondi.com > > >
