>Can someone explain "killer octave" for me? Thanks.... >JSmith3109@AOL.COM My understanding is this: The "killer octave" is commonly associated with Steinway grand pianos, but not exclusive, and falls in the area in the tenor/treble section where the agraffes end and the plate bar (capo bar/pressure bar) begins, continuing from there to the next scale break.
