I thought I did include string defecltion angles as a parameter option in my posting on this along with overall scale tension... btw is yours a high or low tensioned scale ? Yes I did hear your piano in Reno and I did like it really well. But we still dont know how much string breakage under heavy use this piano of yours will sustain do we ?...... It would be nice to see your whole reply Ron, I always enjoy reading your insightfull comments. Welcome to Caut btw! -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no
