''''                       '''''' Is this pitch drop that Virgil Smith mentions, is it the same as "coupled motion"?  Did he call it that?  Who then came up with the name? I can demonstrate the opposite.  I can tune a unison that will show the pitch rising from the first string tuned.  And this would be a unison that agrees with any RPT.   Lets do it at a convention.  I will pay for the booth if each visitor chips in a dollar.  (As an added truth, I can also demonstrate it can go down in an acceptable unison.)  That ought to make it worth $2.00 a visit.    Richard Moody -----Original Message----- From: <a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org">caut-bounces@ptg.org</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org">caut-bounces@ptg.org</a>] On Behalf Of Don Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 11:44 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] coupled motion and other myths Hi Richard, The pitch drop that Virgil Smith has demonstrated many times aurally.
