Hi Joe, you are right that it is not enough to scale only for longitudinal matching. but one of the things that can go wrong with a bad string is a sharp longitudinal wave. a successful string design includes loudness AND inharmonicity AND longitudinal wave matching MiniMens supports also for dynamic loudness, and the other measures too, not only longitudinal wave matching. regards, Bernhard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Garrett" <joegarrett@earthlink.net> To: <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 7:35 PM Subject: Re: MiniMens Audio piano String Simulator (Bernhard Stopper) > Oh boy!
