Or is it possible there is nothing to measure? Personally, I don't know and, from what I'm reading under this topic, no one else does either. It's simply a mystery and apparently it is quite acceptable to leave it at that. I'd have liked to learn more about what, if anything, might actually be happening here in a contributory conversation but this has degenerated into one in which ignorance is an acceptable substitute for inquiry and inquiry has become the subject of ridicule. I'm out of it. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 6939 Foothill Court SW, Olympia, Washington 98512 USA Phone 360.736.7563 - Cell 360.388.6525 del at fandrichpiano.com <mailto:del at fandrichpiano.com%20> - ddfandrich at gmail.com From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of John Delacour Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 11:56 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] What is bloom, Del is quite right to say that these things should be measured, but to say that because he, and nobody he knows, has measured them and that therefore they are likely to be a trick of the ear is perfect nonsense. Measurement of even the simplest visible and tangible things is often difficult enough, as we all know. How much more difficult acoustical measurements. Of all the sciences I have skimmed the surface of, acoustics is the most difficult. JD -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
