Hi, Everyone,

Is there anyone out there who has the formula for calculating the
frequencies of the partials of a string in a piano taking into account
the inharmonicity of the string?  A-440, for example--the actual
frequency of the second partial must be 880.??? or 881.???  At this
point I'm only interested in the plain wire strings.  I know bass string
formulas get to be pretty complex.
