---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi list, As I dip into the vast well of knowledge about pianos that is available on this list and elsewhere, I am gradually learning how much of the theories apply to real life situations. I've recently been noticing in many pianos how difficult it can be to match up the octaves for the last bicords before they change to monocords. And how pianos, particularly short ones, that have wire all the way down to the tenor/bass break can sound really thumpy or whiny in that area. For instance, I've tuned many 10-20 year old Yamaha G-2s. On the surface, nothing wrong with them, and most of them are in good shape. But I've always found them difficult to tune(unlike the U-1 and U-3s, which are probably the easiest pianos on the planet to tune), and I'm beginning to wonder about the scaling on them. Is this a reason they were discontinued? I am interested in learning a bit more about scaling. Not that I plan to build the next great piano, but I'd certainly like to gain some wisdom in this area. If anybody has any recommendations for books or websites regarding scaling that are not overly math-driven, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for all your info, past and future, Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
