But things are quite a bit more complicated then that. You have all these phasing situations between strings and between them and the bridge/soundboard configuration. Reading the available science on the subject will leave you scratching your head (at least it does mine) wondering probably about more then you started out with. But it is facsinating and it is worth the time and effort. Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no
