It might be easier to understand if things were kept in context. Of course it has something to do with sound. It has to do with the sound being produced by, not amplified by, the soundboard. ddf _____ From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Sloane, Benjamin (sloaneba) Sent: May 14, 2009 5:40 AM To: 'caut at ptg.org' Subject: Re: [CAUT] Semantics "This is not amplified sound; there was no original sound to be amplified, only the mechanical energy stored in the vibrating string." What I don't understand about this excerpt is this. If what I do has nothing to do with sound, and everything to do with a vibrating string, then why are so many piano technicians deciding they need to consolidate all their energies to modifying sound, and leaving modifying string tension for correct string vibration to some guys named Sanderson, Reyburn, Dr. Verituner, Sir Tunelab, and their apologist, Baldassin? Furthermore, how do we consider those who leave modifying string vibrations to others, assuming this is all about string vibration, and not sound, good piano technicians at all in light of this conviction? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
