Listmembers,<BR>I have a request from the composer in residence here to
convert a <BR>Baldwin upright school-piano (late 70s early 80s vintage) into a
<BR>quarter-tone piano. He suggested keeping C4 at standard pitch.
I <BR>explained the need for rescaling and he still really wants the entire
<BR>piano permanently converted.<BR><BR>Has anyone done this? Are there
string-scale people out there <BR>willing to take re-scaling this on?
Has anyone programmed an ETD to <BR>do this (sorry I only do ET & WT(s)
aurally). I have a Verituner; <BR>has anyone programmed it for 1/4 tone
tunings?<BR><BR>Andrew C. Anderson<BR>for Laredo Community

<DIV>I happen to own a Yamaha S90-ES music synth. In it's utility mode you
can set it to quarter tones. The piano patch is a sample of their S7 (I
think that's what they call it). It is a very expensive piano to
purchase.</DIV>
<DIV>The piano sample really is outstanding. They have sampled 3 different
volume levels per key and also has a feature to simulate the open strings when
pedal is depressed. It also has a half pedaling feature.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At a retail cost of about 2600.00 I purchased one at a Guitar Center for
1900.00. Certainly cheaper than trying to convert a real piano.</DIV>
