[CAUT] Scientific study - Stainless wire (Help!)

[Jim Busby]

List,

 

We (BYU) finally are ready to do some scientific studies of stainless
wire. This will be conducted by Physics professors/students here at BYU.
Could any of you help me pose some "questions", "queries" or whatever
you want to call it, for these studies?

 

One of our student piano technicians is doing his senior project and his
professors (who we've bugged for years) are just now getting excited
about this.

 

Here are some things I've thought of;

 

1.	What are the actual differences in sound between stainless and
Mapes or Roslau? (Spectrum, etc.)
2.	What are the differences in inharmonicity between the two?
3.	(how?) Do bass strings with stainless core sound different than
other core?
4.	etc....

 

Jim Ellis, others, I'd really like some input on this. We have our ducks
in a row so now is the time.

 

Thanks,

Jim Busby BYU
