Hi Ron, I think you may have missed one known factor. When you introduce a sound board with it's impedance into the "system" inharmonicity is affected. Dean Reyburn documented this in the development stages of RCT, and called it "para inharmonicity" as the value could be a negative number in some cases. Unlike the other four you mention I don't know of any way to "predict" what will happen to the inharmonicity. At 08:11 AM 3/4/2004 +1100, you wrote: >Neither can I.
