In a message dated 98-09-02 17:53:20 EDT, you write: << List, I tuned a Wellington console by Aoelian today that had false beats everywhere, even in the single bass strings. Also several notes when played had a WORBLING ( best description I could come up with) sound to them. The piano doesn't look like its very old. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what might be causing this strange noise, or is it just the name on the front of the piano that's the problem? Thanks, Worn out after this one Dick---Associate Louisiana >> Dick: This might not be the piano at fault. Was there by any chance a ceiling fan running at the time you were tuning? This will cause the "worbling" sound you describe, and cause all the strings to produce the wow wow beats associated with false beats Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
