But now, not so. It came to me that I've always told customers just the opposite, at least when it comes to wrapped bass strings, saying, "The wrapping tries to make the string believe it's longer than it really is." Isn't that the whole concept behind scale designs...trying to fool the piano into believing it's bigger than it really is? Or where have I gone astray?
