_____ From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Susan Kline Sent: July 24, 2009 8:49 AM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] Tuning a Bluthner I think Kawai could qualify for making that kind of clarity, and a very few others, but it's pretty rare. Also, Bluethner perhaps has some patents still in force? That notch in the bearing is a fairly recent development, isn't it? I belive they used a different system earlier? Best, Susan Kline It may be new to Bluthner but the notch in the V-bar was used by Wissner (if memory serves) in their four-string uprights built about a century or so back. ddf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
