<div>I have a different thought. Picture this:</div>
<div> The piano is tuned evenly but is 5 cents below pitch (440). The tension on all string segments are equal. </div>
<div>I am going to use the term render to descibe the equalizing of tension.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You start to tune, raising pitch, If the string doesn't render across the bridge, wouldn't the bridge roll forward as all the strings were brought up?</div>
