Has anyone out there compared the theoretical inharmonicity curve from a scaling spreadsheet to the actual inharmonicity measurements in the same piano? What DOES happen to the real world curve at the tenor/treble break when going from the agraffe to the front duplex termination? Does the inharmonicity drop at the start of the duplex? Ron
