Re: Steinway CRon,
Gee Ron, Have you ever heard a decent C from Steinway NY? I'm impressed =
with your skill and knowledge level, but the piano I tuned was, to use a =
trite but true phrase, awesome! The transition over the break was =
noticeable, but not offensive, just a different character. Also, I was =
sure that the piano was a tad over seven feet, but perhaps I was wrong, =
Next time (I hope!) I plan to take some string data measurements and =
check the piano a little more closely. Quite frankly, I had a chance to =
listen up close for quite a lengthy time to a Fazioli 9'2"and I do =
believe that C would have blown the Fazioli away.

  In early December 01 scaling was under discussion on the list. I =
published a page of graphs comparing % breaking strain, Z and =
inharmonicity for both the Steinway C and our 225 piano. The Steinway C =
is an older scale which has been designed to break at F21 (presumable to =
make it look more like the longer Steinway D which also breaks at F 21). =
However, this crossover point results in a less-than ideal break between =
the bass and treble bridge on a seven foot piano, since the percentage =
of breaking strain must fall down to what I would consider to be an =
unacceptably low value (at the lowest note on the long bridge).
