[CAUT] pre-stretching new string Wet vs Dry Soundboard

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Fred

You are correct, this is what para is about.  But it is caused much as 
Don describes.  This is all in the Five Lectures available at the 
Swedish PTA site.

I'm not sure however whether all this can or can not be applied to the 
idea that a soundboards stiffness can be changed enough in general to 
account for any real amount of the pitch change we see in pianos... but 
the idea is interesting and I am looking forward to whatever may come up 
on this line of thought.

Cheers
RicB


    There are often occasions where a partial or more in those ladders
    appears
    somewhere it shouldn't be according to an even curve (predicted
    value). I
    thought _that_ was what Dean called para-inharmonicity.
