Kent, et al;
 Electronic sound production is not a strong point for me. This question of 
"inharmonicity" in EPs seems pertinent enough to ask an elementary 
question........
If a piano from which samples are taken has "inharmonicity" would/will not 
the 'sampled' sounds also include this inherent inharmonicity?  It seems to 
me they would, but I don't know for sure.  I am not sure of the loops on the 
scope that Kent speaks of but if they are edited in such a manner as to 
minimize the "inharmonicity" does this not change the character of the 
samples?
 Again I don't know the answers to these two questions but I would certainly 
like for someone who does to discuss it. :-)
