This brings up many cliches. Like: You get what = you pay for! It's worth every penny etc. You'll get dozens of responses. Some will be good, some will be good = under certain circumstances, some will be confusing and some will be = just plain wrong. =20 Your assignment should you choose to accept it is to decide which is = which. Here's my answer: There is a dozen reasons for the exposed core to be = different. Most if not all are inadvertent. I shoot for equal exposed = cores and I'm always pleasantly surprised when they come out the same. Again WELCOME!! Carl Meyer Assoc.

I'm aware = that these unwrapped ends influence inharmonicity (as W.Trow Goddard = proposes in his handbook on the strings of the piano) and I suspect = that these varations occur in order to produce a beatless unison. = However, is there any method with predictable results for a tuner to = match a given set of bass bichords or trichords and how can this be = applied in the field? I'm going to restring a S&S D and I fear that in = the end I'll come up with a bass section full of "dirty" unisons. P.S: I'm new to the list and I don't know whether there is a fee for = sending and receiving the mails. If someone would be kind enough to = inform me...
