As for influencing the scale design of a real piano, well it already has to some degree. Conklins scale design work for the bass. That wasnt such a successfull attempt however. The disscussion came out of that duplex thread in which some claims were made that touched on to what degree the longitudinals are a factor in both the front and back duplexes. In as much as scale designs include duplex considerations, (ie. tuned, detuned, muted, lengths) I think its relative enough to know what the longitudinals effects and functions really are. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
