I onc= e measured a handbell as having negative inharmonicity; and, decided based u= pon this not to stretch a piano quite a much as usual. Anybody have any though= ts or advice about this??</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV>Robin.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Don't tune a piano any different for handbells as for any other instrum= ent. I'm fortunate that the bells are at 440, but there are some bells within my = set that are off just a little. When playing the with the bells, unless you sust= ain one bell, and play the same note on the piano, any tuning inconsistencies, m= uch less inharmonicity, is not heard. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
