[CAUT] link to young paper

[Fred Sturm]

Hi Ric,
	Very interesting to read the original paper. Thanks for finding it.  
It is also interesting that all of this work was done on the basis of  
measurements made with a Conn Stroboscope. I wonder if additional  
work has been done with more refined measuring devices, and, if so,  
if the results have been the same.
	The figures (as in charts/diagrams) referred to in the article don't  
appear in the link Ric gave. The original article (including the  
figures) can be seen in pdf via http://scitation.aip.org/jasa/ (The  
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America - search Young (author),  
Inharmonicity (keyword title/abstract).
	There are the usual scattershot results in Young's research, which  
he "resolves" to neat curves, as seen in those figures. As a  
practical technician, I often find that there seem to be strange  
anomalies in inharmonicity, and often separate measurements of the  
same string will vary markedly, in my experience and that of others  
(Dean Reyburn talks about "false" inharmonic ladders - I forget his  
term for them). All those formulae make it seem that pianos are more  
predictable than they are.
