Killer Octave & Pitch Raise

[Richard Brekne]

Arnold my friend !! 

For those of you who dont know, Arnold is the fellow who works together 
with André.  Arnold works alot with soundboard rebuilding projects and 
is IMHO an all around great guy.

Thanks for chirping in, but I am afraid you lost me a bit... first you 
say there is no K point, then you say there is. Then you say Klaus and 
Udo use different crowning methods, and then you say they use the 
compression method.  Begins to sound like the strawman in the Wizard of 
Oz just after the goons raided them in the haunted forest and flew off 
with Dorothy ! :)

Seriously tho... would you mind going into a little more detail. I'd 
loveto have this whole K point thing clarified for me. I've been a bit 
curious ever since I first heard about it, and havent seen the subject 
pop up here before at all.  Also... I remember distinctly Udo talking 
about crown and compression along the grain being << essential >>... so 
if you know more about what he meant there I'd love to hear that as well.

And for what its worth, your use of the word Tension should (I believe) 
be interepreted as general Stress by readers.  Correct me if I am wrong 
Arnold.. but you didnt mean actually stretching something... just 
applying different stresses.. yes ?

Thanks for the post !
