C6 -- 3.5 seconds ????? C5 -- 5 seconds ?????????? Surely you jest ? I have never run into any piano of any sort with a C6 sustain time of just 3.5 seconds. Not even close. I can check 52 instruments in the next few days at the UiB and surely find none under 8 seconds easily discerned by ear. And we have some bonified wrecks I can tell you. Just how is it you figure sustain then ? I can see its head scratching time :) -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
