Fellow colleagues, I am new to the list and Im in urgent need of help. Currently Im working on translating a pt textbook from Norwegian into English. There are a few technical terms that I dont know in English. I hope someone will be able to help me. The first term is the down-bearing pressure that the strings exert on the bridge. Is there a common name for it in English? The second term is only applicable in uprights. When the hammer touches the strings, theres a small difference between the distance from the strings to the shank, just beneath the hammerhead, and the distance from the strings to the shank down at the butt. Directly translated from Norwegian to English it would be called Hammer Fall Angle. Ironically, although its called an angle its expressed in mm instead of degrees since its the difference between two distances. What is the English name? The third term is the name of the surfaces, areas, fields or sections on the pinblock where there are tuning pins. All the tuning pins will typically be grouped into 4, 5 or 6 fields. What is the name for this? Any help will be deeply appreciated! Many thanks in advance, Andreas Risberg _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
