That is true. My point was that without friction, but only pressure, you would never have the problem of the piano going out of tune by a hard hit, because the tension would always be rendered equal. I know this is actually impossible, but if we could separate friction out from pressure, we could still fine tune. --- vince mrykalo rpt ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you are not enjoying your work, you are not charging enough. -Vic Benvenuto ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
