Fundamentals

[Don]

Hi Bob,

The problem is simpler than you might think. Both RCT and SAT do *not*
measure the fundamental below A1. You *can't* displays something that is
not measured!

Dear list,
     This Sunday at our local chapter meeting we employed an RCT to analyze
the partials in the low bass on my 1911 S & S "O".  The graph showed
absolutely no fundamental on the lowest 1 1/2 octaves.  One of our members
who works at the local Story & Clark factory suggested that there might be
a problem with the downbearing at the back side of the bass bridge.  Keep
in mind that this piano had a new board and bridges installed by New York
Piano Center 3 years ago.  I always felt the low bass was very thin
sounding.  Any ideas?
