'mornin again to all. Recently, I sent a note to Bill Ballard, but I haven't heard back from him, so I don't know if he's off-line right now, having computer problems, etc..i just don't know..but I want to share with all of you something I have been working with for a few months now with great results, and my results have been graphed and logged by my student Dave Smith. I am happy to report that Dave spent some time with the Master, Jim Coleman, and Jim was happy with what Dave was doing. One thing that came out of that meeting was Dave learning how to use the Double Octave Beat function of the SATlll, getting as much 'good' stretch from the piano as possible. Results were graphed. I am very, very happy to report that there are great similarities between that procedure and the 3:1 aural procedure I have been using and was graphed by Dave Smith. My thanks to Bill Ballard (Where in the world is Bill Ballard?) I would be happy to share the procedure with anyone who would like to learn how to produce it aurally..and..if there is any interest from the Journal folks, I would be more than happy to write up the procedure and show both graphs for a Journal article to share in that medium as well. Obviously, using the Double Octave Beat with the SATlll is no big revelation, but..having an aural procedure so closely match that particular procedure, and to be able to prove it with a graph, MIGHT be print-worthy. my thoughts, -Phil Bondi (Fl.) phil@philbondi.com
