Voicing of high bass on Steinway L

[Don]

Hi Mark and Joe,

I believe the inharmonicity goes up by the cube of the length of the
unwound string.

In real life as one climbs the partial ladders each one will diverge
farther and farther apart. The solution is to try to tune the loudest
coincident partial beat free. This will be the best compromise in a bad
situation. The unison will be muddy.
