By golly Don, you ARE a politician. Up until this very moment, we were talking about why unison smear happens between tunings and what the most likely cause is. Yes, I agree that plate deformation probably has more to do with pitch drift during pitch adjustments, but I thought we'd worked that one out to everyone's satisfaction a couple of years ago. >This is not quite the same topic as unison smear. But it is where I got the >idea that the plate is very much involved in that result. No, not quite. Once again, please explain why the plate would move more than the soundboard between tunings - not during. Ron N
