This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello Wim My purpose was to dig a bit into the string scaling theory. I would = like to understand better the way constructors deal with tension, = inharmonicity, striking point, smooth changes in all this (following the = article of Dave Roberts in PTG journals about 1981). About string length measurements, I once again find myself with too = large relative errors, certainly in the trebble section.
