Dons suggestion of a strobe light..... would that do it ? But just saying it does so doesnt quite make it in my book. Nor does apealling to some sense of common sense. I too am tempted to think along these lines, yet the opposition has made a point about unison strings counter acting each other in this regard, and further even if one to some degree yeilds this point as far as it is in this context drawn, it does not automatically qualify this eventuallity as the primary force that drives the sound board. That would take a full drawn out and qualified balancing of all factors involved in producing the movement in the panel that result in airborn soundwaves. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
