And while C88 has a non-stretched frequency of 4186 herz for the standard Homo sapiens piano, Mr Janghann's piano is specially built for dogdom. I should like to hear a piece of spruce doing its thing at 6000. >This would result in a panel with similar characteristics to that of >a loudspeaker membrane. Like the hi-fi system which has one speaker, should be a real good case of 'telephone tone', the 'floppy sound board syndrome' or the '500 tweeters sound board panel' with all treble and no bass. The perfect piano tone for the profoundly deaf. No, I don't think I share Mr Junghann's enthusiasm for such a sound board. The sound board should be very different in the bass and treble sections. The bass should move freely with a larger amplitude effectively to produce the fundamental tone of the low bass notes, while the upper treble needs to be relatively much stiffer to allow for something of a sustaining quality to persist in the treble. List subscribers have been moaning about the over-flexible second top treble of typical Steinways and their killer octave. It is the excessive flexibility of the second top which is killing the tone. Create a more rigid zone and the sound will pick up. No I don't share Mr Junghann's view at all.
