Believe me, I tried more then twice. Some things just take a little longer. You should have known it wasn't billrpt because there wasn't anything at all about how the rest of the world believes they're doing something they're not, and they're ALL wrong wrong wrong, etc, etc, etc, and I didn't mention ET, or even temperament, at all. My (own, personal) answer to Don's observation is yes, depending on a WHOLE lot of pertinent variables that weren't defined in his posts, making his observations interesting, fun, out of context, and not conclusive of anything in particular. Others' answers may vary. I still see no connection whatsoever with the angle of the plate, since it has nothing to do with the overall string lengths ahead of, or behind the bridge, and the tensions of these sections as a result of anything mentioned. A noble attempt, but I still don't see the logic. Perhaps I'm not paying attention, or perhaps you're not. Maybe it's the local water quality. Ron N
