And I'm forty one, which is older, than if I was forty too, but younger than if I was forty two... At the end, I don't know if I'm too old or not... ... Sorry, couldn't resist ;-) ... One hour ago I said I was getting to bed... I really should have :-/ Philippe Errembault ps : Why two beds ? ----- Original Message ----- From: John Delmore To: 'Pianotech List' Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 6:24 PM Subject: RE: piano, piano-forte,forte-piano : Terminology - What's your opinion ? Pointless? Not at all. Personally, I find it much simpler and, of course, more accurate to use proper terminology.even if that means calling something a (gasp) "upright grand" (the manufacturer's started it!). "Bell Metal" plates, "full-perimeter" plates (when the not really) and all that sort of "marketing gobbledegook", in my opinion, just causes problems of the sort you mention. I'd LIKE the world to change to a more precise place, but really, I'm too old to worry about THAT!! And I'm ONLY forty!:-) (Also, I just like to poke fun at our O/C at every opportunity-He tunes/voices organs in our area, and is quite good at it, but our respective ideas of a piano being in tune do not, shall we say, "constitute coincident partials"!)

Well... Sometimes it does, Sometimes it doesn't... Sometimes it does for some peoples and doesn't for others... Having various names for the same thing could be mostly harmless, (even if it sometimes could causes religious wars) Having various thing responding to the same name can be nasty from time to time... let's take the example of Iran using atomic power... Is it a power supply or a weapon ? Never assume something won't change the world if you're not sure you understand all the implications...
